DISC
DISC is a behavior assessment tool based on the DISC theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston, which centers on four different personality traits which are currently Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C). This theory was then developed into a behavioral assessment tool by industrial psychologist Walter Vernon Clarke.
There are several benefits of working with DISC in your organization, including raising self-awareness of your own communication style and preferences, awareness of others’ styles and preferences and how to adapt to each for better results in less time, with less stress.
DISC 360o
What if you had an enhanced 360° view of how you come across to others? In other words, imagine having the ability to process the collective perceptions of how others see you. Oftentimes, the way we perceive ourselves and the way others perceive us can be two very different things. Even experienced business leaders will persist in communication and organizational practices with the belief that everyone recognizes their “obvious” intentions, while overlooking costly misinterpretations that stem from different behavioral styles. These handicaps have always been unfortunate workplace inefficiencies that couldn’t be resolved — until now.
The DISC 360º assessment is an instrument for individuals who want to enhance the traditional DISC self-assessment, by adding the objective insights from dozens of observer-based DISC assessments.
Motivators Assessment
The Motivators Assessment combines the research of Dr. Eduard Spranger and Gordon Allport into a single, in-depth diagnostic revealing the inherent motivations of each user. While we are all aware of our motivations to some degree, research shows that successful people share the common trait of exceptional self-awareness. Exceptional self-awareness means these individuals are better at recognizing opportunities that correlate with their inherent motivations, thereby increasing their likelihood for success.
The Motivators assessment identifies seven potential “drivers” of motivation which exist in everyone, to varying levels. By taking detailed measurements of these seven key impulses, the Motivators assessment is able to offer the practical applications and insights necessary to maximize performance and project outcomes.
Sales IQ Plus Assessment
Most people know that the measure of a salesperson’s success is their ability to make new sales. However, how can a sales manager or organization predict a sales professional’s current skill level? Likewise, how can sales professionals see through the opaque lens of self-bias and identify their own areas of improvement, while finding the practical solutions for correcting them?
As with any profession, selling has a body of knowledge related to successful execution. There are a multitude of skills, behaviors, knowledge and attitudes involved in any successful sales career. To know how to improve your own sales performance requires that you periodically examine all of these aspects. The Sales IQ Plus assessment offers such an objective analysis and essentially answers the question, “What, specifically, is keeping this person from selling more?”
This award-winning sales skill assessment was jointly developed by best-selling authors Jeffrey Gitomer (The Sales Bible,) Jim Cathcart (Relationship Selling) and Dr. Tony Alessandra (The Platinum Rule for DISC Sales Mastery.) Borrowing upon the wisdom and experience of these three authorities, Sales IQ Plus measures a sales professional’s understanding of the strategies required to sell successfully in any environment.
This assessment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and consists of 48 questions that guide you in assessing each of the eight primary sales competencies, along with some vital selling traits. A sales “competency” is a category of selling proficiency that contains a number of different skills and knowledge components. All eight competencies combine to provide an overview of your current selling effectiveness. By assessing your sales effectiveness in each of the eight areas, you will gain an overview that enables you to be a much more effective self-manager and consistently successful sales professional.
