What it measures

Four areas that decide how a deal ends

Deals, decisions and relationships are not lost because of the facts. They're lost because people mishandle conversations under pressure. The assessment shows you where that's happening in your team.

Composure

Whether your team stays calm and clear-headed when a client pushes back hard or gets emotional.

Trust

How quickly they build rapport and credibility with clients, stakeholders and colleagues.

Influence & Persuasion

Whether they make the case for their position without pressuring the other side.

Protecting Value

Whether they hold firm on price, handle objections without conceding, and know when to walk away.

How it works

Three minutes. One clear picture.
