Sales Assessment Test Cuts Interviewing Time; Beats Sales Aptitude Tests, Sales Personality Testing

Hollywood, FL -- (SBWire) -- 04/14/2011 -- Hiring good sales people or a great sales manager is one of the hardest things. A good sales assessment test or sales ability test such as the patent-pending JOY Tests (TM) of Total Sales Ability (TM) can help employers cut down on their sales interviewing time by up to seventy-five percent (75%), aid employers in avoiding the frustration and aggravation of interviewing the "non-candidates", and help businesses hire better salespeople and sales managers. Employers can receive ten (10) free Sales Assessment Tests at http://www.danjoy.com/

Some old-style pre-hire sales assessments such as sales aptitude tests or pre-employment sales personality tests try to disguise themselves as sales assessment tests, which they are really not. It takes a lot more than just personality or aptitude alone to close a complex sale in a competitive environment. So, how can an employer tell if a job applicant can really sell? The sales assessment testing website of Dan Joy Inc can help.

The conventional sales personality tests or sales aptitude tests are often "blind" to the impact of a job applicant's experience, sales training, or knowledge of sales techniques. While they may offer some benefit towards hiring entry level sales people, they often fall short when trying to evaluate experienced salespeople and sales managers. The JOY Tests (TM) of Total Sales Ability (TM) do not have that limitation, and can be used as pre hire assessments for evaluating experienced sales executives in many areas of competency such as sales prospecting ability, sales presentation ability, sales closing ability, sales team recruitment ability, sales team management ability and much more.

The powerful Dan JOY Tests (TM) can be used for pre employment testing of business development job applicants at different career stages, e.g., a frontline Salesperson (non-manager), or a Sales Manager, Sales Director or VP of Sales & Marketing, for both B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to consumer) sales scenarios. Businesses may also administer a sales test online to evaluate their current sales executives for promotion, retention or training purposes. These potent sales assessments may also be used for testing manufacturer's reps, sales engineers, distributors, franchisees and the sales people at a company's different franchised locations.

Furthermore, the Dan JOY Sales Tests (TM) may be used by manufacturers, distributors, service companies, contracting firms, retailers, spas, health clubs, fitness centers, banks, etc., for recruiting salespeople, area managers and regional sales managers to sell a wide range of products or services such as club memberships, machinery, automobiles, real estate, office equipment, machine parts, advertising, insurance, medical devices, engineering solutions, pharmaceuticals, hospital equipment, business services, etc.

In the past, pre-hire sales assessment tools were used primarily by large companies. The affordable sales ability tests of Dan Joy Inc are now within the easy reach of small to mid-sized businesses, too. For a limited time only, employers can receive 10 free sales assessment test units (Screening Tests) at http://www.danjoy.com/
