At Result Closers, we have a structured, data-driven approach to sales talent.
For hiring, we don’t just skim resumes or rely on a single test. We use a layered, performance-plus-fit process. First, we confirm the candidate can do the job through experience benchmarks and role alignment. Then, we verify they have the sales DNA to succeed using the industry’s most predictive assessments. Finally, we ensure they’ll thrive in your specific culture, with your team, and under your leadership style, so you’re not just filling a seat, but hiring someone who will perform and stay.
For evaluating your current team, we offer two solutions:
We provide individual evaluations for current sales employees, including sales, sales management, and sales leadership roles, using role-specific assessments that measure sales DNA, skills, and fit. And for evaluating the entire sales team, we offer our Sales Effectiveness & Improvement Analysis (SEIA), a comprehensive diagnostic that uncovers root-cause issues such as ineffective leadership, strategy misalignment, coaching gaps, pipeline management challenges, and process enforcement. SEIA is the “MRI” you need to diagnose and fix what’s holding your team back from sustainable growth.
