“ Going thru a Sales Strength Assessment program helped me understand my own strengths as a salesperson but also to see some blindspots in how I interacted with certain buyer types. Sometimes it was hard to gain a connection but after the training from the Virtual CRO, I learned clues that helped me recognize how to communicate to all buyer types, not just the ones that were similar to my profile. I learned my natural weaknesses as a salesperson and where to push myself out of my comfort zone to achieve my sales goals.
