Help Your Sellers Perform to their Maximum Potential with the EQ (Emotional Quotient) Assessment

A fully integrated assessment that allows your team members to gain self-awareness and make better decisions

What is Emotional Quotient?

Emotional Quotient or EQ is a measure of emotional intelligence, similar to IQ which is often referred to as a measure of intelligence. Unlike IQ, EQ is a skill set that CAN be learned.

Emotional intelligence is critical to high sales performance because it allows a salesperson to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power of their own emotions during interactions with buyers.

Leading a sales team is a lonely – and sometimes frustrating – job. Some days it feels like you’re herding cats. In addition to the challenges of hitting the number in the face of unbelievable uncertainty, senior leadership wants answers you’re not always in a position to give.
 

What Does the EQ Assessment Measure?

The EQ Assessment measures and offers insight into improving the following 5 areas:

Self-Awareness

The ability to identify and understand one’s own emotions and the impact they have on self and others.

Self-Regulation

The ability to control and adapt one’s own emotions to fit the situation or to avoid disrupting others.

Motivation

The internally generated desire to complete a task or accomplish a goal.

Social Awareness

The ability to make meaningful connections, build rapport, and maintain relationships over an extended period of time.

Social Regulation

The ability to identify and understand other people’s emotions and respond to them productively.

How Can the EQ Assessment Improve Your Team’s Sales Performance?

When the high-pressure environment of a sales role is met with low emotional intelligence, your organization is left with burnout, disengagement, and high sales rep turnover.

The buying process is an emotional experience for both the customer and the seller. The more a salesperson understands the emotions invested in a sales interaction, the better equipped they are to consult effectively with buyers and successfully close the deal. In addition, salespeople with high emotional intelligence are better able to collaborate with other departments and excel in team selling situations.
