Self-development last in sales benchmarking report

When was the last time that you benchmarked your sales skills?

To stay on top of your game you need to continually keep your sales skills and approach up to date.

Today’s modern day buyers are sales savvy and they will take the shirt off your back if you’ll let them!

I recently benchmarked and assessed 1,000 sales professionals using SalesDNA which is a free sales benchmarking tool created by MTD Sales Training.

SaleDNA benchmarks your sales competencies across 8 specific areas covering 64 different skills.

Here are the findings from the survey:

Self-Development bottom of the pile!

One of the most interesting observations was that self-development came last!

With a score of 57% out of a possible 100% the sales professionals who took the survey placed little emphasis on learning new skills and improving their skills.

Not surprising was the top ranked competency – offering solutions (73%)

Maybe we are all too comfortable and familiar with talking about what we do and offer when really we need to give our prospects and clients a good talking to!

Needs assessment was way down the list (66%)
