Hollywood, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/09/2010 -- Most employers seem to agree that hiring good salespeople is one of the hardest things. So, how can an employer tell if a job applicant can really sell? This Sales Assessment Testing website can help. Businesses who wish to learn how to hire sales reps can receive 10 FREE Sales Assessment Tests from Dan Joy, Inc., as well as guidance on many related topics such as how to write an effective employment ad, the qualities of a good sales recruiter, etc., at http://www.danjoy.com/

Some old-style pre-hire sales aptitude tests or pre-employment sales personality tests try to disguise themselves as sales assessment tests, which they are really not. Those conventional sales personality tests or sales aptitude tests are often "blind" to the impact of a job applicant's sales experience, sales training and knowledge of sales techniques. The patent-pending JOY Tests (TM) of Total Sales Ability (TM) do not have that limitation, and can be used for pre employment testing and post hire evaluation of experienced sales professionals in crucial areas of competency such as sales prospecting ability, sales presentation ability, sales closing ability, and much more.

It takes a different combination of sales abilities or sales competencies for acquiring new customers (a "sales hunter" role) versus maintaining and growing the existing accounts (a "sales farmer" role). Some salespeople are better at proactive aggressive selling (account acquisition), while others may be better at soft selling (account growth). Rarely can a sales rep be very good at both. The key is to try to match the sales person to the role correctly.

Towards that end, Dan Joy, Inc. developed the powerful AccuDecide (TM) technology, and recently added it to all of its online sales assessment tests. The AccuDecide (TM) technology can help businesses hire the best salespeople or sales reps based on the type of sales landscape that they will be working in, namely, the nature of the products or services being sold, type of industry, price levels, degree of complexity, characteristics of the target market, and the type of sales role, e.g., a "soft selling" (key-account growth) role versus an "aggressive selling" (new account acquisition) role.

The potent Dan JOY Tests (TM) can be used to test business development job applicants at different career stages, e.g., a frontline Salesperson (Non-manager) or a Sales Manager / Sales Director / VP Sales & Marketing, for both B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to consumer) sales scenarios. Businesses may administer a sales test online to evaluate their current sales executives for promotion, retention or training purposes as well. The same sales assessments may also be used for testing Manufacturer's Reps, Sales Engineers, Distributors, Franchisees, Franchise Owners, Franchise Operators and the sales people at 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 assessments 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. Employers in USA can receive 10 free sales assessment test units (Screening Tests) at http://www.danjoy.com/
