A salesperson may reach certain targets while hidden weaknesses continue to limit future performance.

PSV is available in English and French across seven countries on three continents. It is also preparing to serve seven Spanish-speaking countries.
Even with experienced salespeople, strong products and clear targets, managers may struggle to understand why some representatives plateau, avoid prospecting or remain difficult to coach.
A salesperson may reach certain targets while hidden weaknesses continue to limit future performance.
Without a clear view of behaviour, managers repeat broad advice instead of addressing the real development need.
Replacement, training or increased pressure can be better targeted when the underlying situation is understood first.
Recruitment matters, but much of PSV’s value comes from helping managers understand the salespeople already working in the organization.
PSV helps managers identify strengths, limitations and practical development priorities for their representatives.
PSV also reduces blind spots before hiring by examining sales behaviours that are difficult to confirm through a résumé or interview alone.
PSV helps managers understand several dimensions that influence sustainable sales performance.
Listening, discipline, professionalism, resilience, prospecting capacity and objection handling.
Identify the dimensions that deserve attention so management conversations become more specific and useful.
Recognize behaviours that may limit performance before they develop into more costly problems.
Organizations often underestimate replacement costs, the impact of a salesperson who has plateaued, lost opportunities caused by weak prospecting and the full cost of a poor hiring decision.
The representative or candidate responds to structured sales situations and completes a self-perception section.
The profile provides insight into prospecting, listening, discipline, adaptability, resilience and other sales-related behaviours.
The findings help identify strengths, development needs, follow-up questions and practical coaching priorities.
PSV helps managers make more informed decisions by revealing the sales behaviours that influence performance.
