The Sales Indicator Reports are easy to read, direct and to the point. The reports are included with the Sales Indicator Assessment.

Persistence - Reaction to adversity, rejection and negative outcomes in selling situations.
Energy - The need for activity; taking action and sense of urgency.
Sales Drive - Internal drive that leads to sales activity; desire to reach sales goals.

The last page of the report, the Sales Indicator Graph, shows, on a scale of 1-10, how behaviors in the five sales characteristics compares to the distribution of these qualities among sales people.
