Challenge

IDENTIFY QUALITY SALESPEOPLE

This leading solar energy provider faced a hiring challenge for their in-home sales roles. Their average closing rate was 25%, with many new hires not finishing training and few hitting quota once on the team.

The company needed to identify what traits the successful salespeople on their team shared and find a way to identify which applicants had those traits to predict long-term success in the role and increase sales performance.


Solution

BENCHMARK TOP SELLERS

HighMatch collaborated with the organization to benchmark their existing top sellers and identify the traits critical for sales success. A personality assessment was implemented focusing on traits deemed critical for members of the sales team to pinpoint which candidates would perform well once on the job.
