Discover How to Get More Out of Your Entire Sales Team with Our Sales Team Insights
An actionable assessment-based report that allows you to understand and optimize your sales team dynamics
Sales Performance, Productivity, and Enablement Starts at the People Level
Any team takes on a unique culture based on the personalities and behaviors that comprise it. And while some teams seem to work together successfully with little effort, other teams are held back by the personality conflicts, misalignment, and a sense that some or all the players just don’t “get it.”
The real problem with ineffective teams is that it’s often hard to identify what challenges are holding the sales team back. The key to understanding the reasons behind a team’s success – and more importantly – how a team can be more successful is to evaluate the group at a “people level” using some sort of a validated assessment tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this report improve my sales team’s performance?
The report is designed to provide you insight into the behavioral makeup of your sales team. The results of the report will uncover the best ways to structure your team, who’s an ideal fit (and who’s not) for your selling environment or position, and ideal recommendations for training and coaching to help your organization improve overall sales performance.
Are my team’s sales skills assessed in the report?

Are the assessments scientifically validated?

What is a job benchmark?
Job benchmarking is an interactive process used to create an “ideal performer profile” that can be used for selection, development, retention, management, and succession planning. The process gathers stakeholders from your organization along with talent mangement experts from The Brooks Group to determine the key accountabilities specific to the position.
The Sales Team Insights assesses your team and compares the results to the job benchmark, revealing where your team members may have gaps that can be addressed through coaching or restructuring.
What is expected in my debrief?
A talent mangement expert will go over the results of the report with you to identify where your team lands compared to the job benchmark. If there are problems on your team, the debrief session will help uncover the source of the problems and offer solutions for improving your team’s performance.
What is the minimum and maximum number of team members I can assess?
The Sales Team Insights can be conducted on teams as small as 10, and as large as 500. If your organization has a sales team with more than 500 representatives, mulitple reports can be conducted.
