Assessing product-learning ability in sales candidates
Product knowledge can be learned, but candidates need a reliable way to understand and explain information.
Define the requirement
Product knowledge can be learned, but candidates need a reliable way to understand and explain information. Assess this using a small fictional product sheet rather than expecting knowledge of your entire catalogue. Look for accurate explanation and willingness to acknowledge uncertainty.
Put it into practice
Give each candidate the same short brief and preparation time. Ask them to explain a product to a customer with a specific need. Score accuracy, questions and suitable escalation. Avoid rewarding invented features or unsupported promises simply because the presentation sounds confident.
