Establishing new contacts does not bother you, but it can be a source of stress. You prefer to follow up with prospects
approached by your colleagues, since the initial contact has already been established. You must remove the
psychological barriers, approach business relationships with a positive attitude and assert yourself in order to build your
confidence in establishing contacts.




SALES ACUMEN
+++ Your Sales Acumen score is very high. Your entrepreneurial mind helps you approach each sale as a challenge.

in the art of selling and enjoy earning new clients.




CLOSING CONTRACTS

that highly coveted contract. When you argue, it’s to convince the other person. You know how to deal with objections
and to assert yourself. Moreover, you often receive support from others, even during tough, complex negotiations. You
consider challenge as an opportunity.




BUSINESS NETWORKING
++ You have a high score in Building Business Networks. You know to identify influential people and decision makers
who can help you realise your objectives. You do not hesitate to use them as a lever to extend further your knowledge
of the market and your influence network. You know how to establish a climate of confidence with your business
partners.




STRATEGIC NEGOTIATIONS
- Your score in Strategic Negotiations is below average. It is probable that long negotiations and contracts
made-to-order do not interest you. You seem to be at ease at situations that require direct actions and where the
contract is sure to be signed more quickly.




                                                                                                     Taken on 15/02/2007

sense of humour, charm and eloquence. You leave each time an indelible impression on those whom you meet.You are

there is too much stress. You can become impatient if things do not go as expected or say things that you might regret
afterward.

want to work. You have better skills as a generalist and you prefer to use a functional, tangible approach with the purely

the field.

SALES PROFILE
                         Sunder RANGARAJAN's profile



Personalized analysis of the report

      The personality traits that are distinct to the profile of Sunder are :




      Strong points of the candidate : dimension Sales force quot;Field salesquot;

                          [Closing contracts] Sunder is bold and tenacious, which is generally associated with good
                          physical resistance. He has the high level of assertiveness and risk orientation found in
                          successful closers. He does not back down from a challenge, seizing opportunities to gain
                          clients or to earn income for the company. Sunder is very comfortable with and even
                          stimulated by competition. He knows how to be insistent with hesitant clients and to follow up
                          with them when necessary. Sunder’s motivation to attain his objectives will incite him to use all
                          available means to succeed. Sunder will be able to deal with any objections that arise and
                          regain control of the conversation afterward.
                          Advice to Sunder : Be careful and try not initiating the closing process too early in the
                          negotiation.



                          [Sales Acumen] Spontaneous and audacious, Sunder considers the sales process to be a
                          game in which each stage is a “set” to be won. He rarely makes concessions so as to maintain
                          his margins. Backed by a good strategic plan, Sunder likes to negotiate and to be up against
                          difficult sales in order to change the point of view of potential clients. A born entrepreneur,
                          Sunder is quite simply drawn to sales.




      Strong points of the candidate : dimension Sales force quot;Developmentquot;

                          [Charisma] Sunder knows how to impress his audience during professional negotiations,
                          putting to use his skills in eloquence, personal presentation and natural charm. He knows
                          perfectly how to play the role of “ambassador” of the product he is responsible for promoting.
                          For him, winning the friendship of his client/prospect plays in his favour to close the sale.
                          However, A little too sure of his charisma, Sunder might give an impression of « speaking
                          mostly nonsense without coming straight to the point ».



                          [Building business networks] Sunder is sociable and likes to build a network of contacts. He
                          has the art to seek out influential persons, decision-makers or purchasing advisors, and knows
                          how to make reliable acquaintances among them by creating an atmosphere of trust and
                          confidence, which could in turn prove very helpful in realising sales and strategic partnerships.
                          He does not hesitate to use his contact network whether personal or professional to initiate a
                          business negotiation.




                                                                                                     Taken on 15/02/2007

      Strong points of the candidate : dimension quot;Client relationsquot;

                         No dominant trait could be detached there from your profile.



      Weaker points / areas that need improvement (from a sales perspective) :

                         [Technical expertise] If it involves selling products or services that require in-depth technical
                         knowledge, Sunder may have trouble adapting from the outset. However, some people are
                         good technicians, but aspire to do more functional work, such as project management (which
                         would explain a low score on this factor compared to their actual skills). Regardless, Sunder is
                         more of a generalist than an expert.



                         [Strategic negotiations] Sunder may have a tendancy towards contracts that conclude rapidly
                         over those that need difficult negotiations. If he wishes to establish high profile partnerships
                         Sunder needs to take the risk and engage in negotiations that have an amount of uncertainity
                         around them.




                                                                                                    Taken on 15/02/2007

  • 7. SALES PROFILE Sunder RANGARAJAN's profile Personalized analysis of the report The personality traits that are distinct to the profile of Sunder are : Strong points of the candidate : dimension Sales force quot;Field salesquot; [Closing contracts] Sunder is bold and tenacious, which is generally associated with good physical resistance. He has the high level of assertiveness and risk orientation found in successful closers.

[Sales Acumen] Spontaneous and audacious, Sunder considers the sales process to be a game in which each stage is a “set” to be won. He rarely makes concessions so as to maintain his margins. Backed by a good strategic plan, Sunder likes to negotiate and to be up against difficult sales in order to change the point of view of potential clients. A born entrepreneur, Sunder is quite simply drawn to sales. Strong points of the candidate : dimension Sales force quot;Developmentquot; [Charisma] Sunder knows how to impress his audience during professional negotiations, putting to use his skills in eloquence, personal presentation and natural charm. He knows perfectly how to play the role of “ambassador” of the product he is responsible for promoting. For him, winning the friendship of his client/prospect plays in his favour to close the sale.

  • 8. SALES PROFILE Sunder RANGARAJAN's profile Strong points of the candidate : dimension quot;Client relationsquot; No dominant trait could be detached there from your profile. Weaker points / areas that need improvement (from a sales perspective) : [Technical expertise] If it involves selling products or services that require in-depth technical knowledge, Sunder may have trouble adapting from the outset. However, some people are good technicians, but aspire to do more functional work, such as project management (which would explain a low score on this factor compared to their actual skills). Regardless, Sunder is more of a generalist than an expert. [Strategic negotiations] Sunder may have a tendancy towards contracts that conclude rapidly over those that need difficult negotiations. If he wishes to establish high profile partnerships Sunder needs to take the risk and engage in negotiations that have an amount of uncertainity around them.
