Measuring Sales Performance Characteristics and Style
SPI-Q (Sales Performance Insight Questionnaire) is the latest and most comprehensive sales assessment tool in the marketplace. The Sales Performance Insights Questionnaire (SPI-Q) has been developed in Australia by Performance Insights and focuses on the attributes that are uniquely relevant to sales. It is the only product in the market that predicts the multi-dimensional characteristics required by today's sales professionals, and measures the subtle but critical characteristics that differentiate successful sales people. The questionnaire measures 25 Sales Attributes, clustered into three broad domains:-
1. Compelling Relationships – which measure the preferences the individual has when working with clients and developing relationships i.e. Impact, Credibility, Insight, Attentiveness, Initiation, Influence, Social Leverage, Client Engagement, and Negotiation.
2. Perceptive Reasoning – which measures how the individual processes information and makes judgments relating to client issues and solutions i.e. Research, Exploration, Agility, Pursues Learning, Creativity, Structure, Quality Orientation, Rational, Specialist, and Judgement.
3. Channelled Energy – which measures the motivators and levers which drive the individual to succeed i.e. Authenticity, Resilience, Self Belief, Recovery, Motivation, Sales Drive
The questionnaire has been designed to be highly pragmatic and user-friendly, requiring minimal training; with standard interpreted report outputs, which are adapted based on the individual's results. The SPI-Q is a self-report questionnaire, and the accuracy of this profile depends on how honest the individual has been when completing the questionnaire, as well as their self-awareness. It reflects their preferred style, rather than their ability. However, research shows that people's responses to personality questionnaires can act as a good predictor of how they are likely to behave on the job. There is no one 'perfect profile'.
