PREDICTOR OF POTENTIAL POP7.0™ Selection Considerations

SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Enterprising Potential (E.P.): To some extent this relative weakness on the E.P. Scale can be compensated for by
creating, at least temporarily, the semblance of a highly structured work situation for them. This individual MAY be able
to develop a systematic approach to activities with management help, but the help may have to be kept in place for a
very long time - perhaps indefinitely. Are you able and prepared to make that kind of commitment?

Achievement Potential (A.P.): With this level of results on the A.P. Scale, it is essential that this result be considered
acceptable only if the person is demonstrably good at personal planning, personal time management and if this individual
is a real 'EFFORT' person. Even with good self-management potential, this score still predicts only a modest level of drive,
energy and ambition. For anyone who does not have good self-management skills, this score does not compensate enough
to result in any strong positive prediction of probable survival and success.

Independence Potential (I.P.): This is a relatively low score on the I.P. Scale. A person like this can be a real pleasure
to work with for a manager early in their career as this individual will listen attentively and do precisely as this
individual is told. However, this individual may feel that this individual needs ongoing supervision and this individual will
expect and accept this even when this individual no longer really needs it. With a result in this range, the individual will
probably have a tendency towards developing dependency relationships. It is easier to avoid these than to erase them
once they are established, so be aware of this possible problem.

People Orientation (P.O.): This is an acceptable result on the P.O. Score. Generally a result like this has no bearing,
either positive or negative, on selection recommendations.

Investigative Orientation (INV.): This is an acceptable result on the INV. Score. If you feel that your business offers a
real chance for them to continue to grow and develop from a technical and intellectual point of view, this individual
will find that a real plus.

Call Reluctance
This person's responses to questions relating to managing call reluctance indicate that this individual may not be
attitudinally suited for a sales career. Their answers make them seem likely to have a great deal of reluctance to
make calls and prospect in their regular network or natural market because of either the possibility of rejection,
discomfort with selling to strangers or a general dislike of sales as a career.

Managing Rejection: Their low score on the managing rejection scale indicates that this individual could be overly
concerned with how prospects are relating to them during the sales process. This indicates sensitivity based on a
desire to be liked by everyone and a fear of being disliked by anyone. It will be very important to explore their
feelings about rejection during the sales process prior to hiring.

Prospecting Orientation: This person would tend to favor prospecting in specific areas of their natural market. To
prospect and network from a business perspective this individual would require a strong commitment to product
and a well developed sales track. The requirement for consistent prospecting could provide an overwhelming
challenge which would create a need for ongoing training support and joint field work.

Commitment to a Sales Career: The recruiting process should explore the motivation of this individual for
considering a sales career. It will be essential to assure that this individual wants the benefits associated with a sales
career rather than simply not being satisfied with their current job or employment situation. Management should
avoid over selling the career during the hiring process. Ask them for their career goals rather than outlining all the
features of a career in sales.

PREDICTOR OF POTENTIAL POP7.0™ Training & Coaching Suggestions

TRAINING & COACHING SUGGESTIONS

Based on the Enterprising Potential (E.P.) Results


(Training Requirements) To compensate for the lack of strength on this characteristic, training should consist of lots of
instruction and practical work in personal time management and activities planning. You must include a one- on-one
development of an immediate and workable time and activity management plan as this has more immediate and
practical utility. Even with skills development in these areas, you must also develop a workable, ongoing method to
manage and supervise their daily activities until they become solid business 'habits'. If you have not got the time and/or
skills to do this, their survival is in doubt.

Based on the Achievement Potential (A.P.) Results


(Training Suggestions) Certainly this individual needs extensive and intensive training in closing techniques and
timing. Getting them to be persistent in the face of objections and/or rejection may be very difficult. Their most
effective style would probably result from observing and then adopting the style of someone who is very much like
them.

Based on the Independence Potential (I.P.) Results


(Training Requirements) While you are developing a personal and technical training program for them, you should
make training in being more independent an objective for this person. Be careful that you do not create a dependency
relationship while you are training them in the early stages of their career as it will be hard for you and for them to
break such a dependency once established.

Based on the People Orientation (P.O.) Results


(Coaching Suggestions) This individual will find satisfaction and productivity enhanced by working with a trainer and
fellow employees who are similarly people oriented.

Based on the Investigative Orientation (INV.) Results


(Coaching Suggestions) This individual should grasp new technical and practical information very quickly and find an
ongoing training experience a very positive opportunity.

PREDICTOR OF POTENTIAL POP7.0™ Retention Prospects

RETENTION PROSPECTS

Based on the Enterprising Potential (E.P.) Results


To retain this person, should this individual reach an acceptable performance level, you will probably have to ensure that
you do not place any heavy emphasis on making them solely responsible for the planning and daily execution of their
activities. This individual needs structure for comfort and productivity.

Based on the Achievement Potential (A.P.) Results


This individual would balk at an imposed and repeated increased pressure for higher performance goals. Persuasion is
likely going to be a far more effective way to get them to set their sights higher and to stay longer.

Based on the Independence Potential (I.P.) Results


If this individual can be trained to be more independent it will be in everyone's best interests. This individual will
want to retain a close business friendship with their supervisor, with their fellow workers and with clients.

Based on the People Orientation (P.O.) Results


This individual needs and will be motivated in large measure by acceptance and recognition from their boss and
fellow employees.

Based on the Investigative Orientation (INV.) Results


Working in a job and in an industry which offers both company and industry sponsored ongoing training would keep
them motivated to learn and grow and develop over the long term.

PREDICTOR OF POTENTIAL POP7.0™ Personal Strengths/Career Needs

In Terms of Enterprising vs Support Role Possibilities


People would see you as being occasionally assertive, determined and goal oriented within well defined situations. More
often, you would appear to be generally accepting, agreeable, considerate, mild mannered and cautious in any less
clearly defined work or personal situation. Given a requirement or objective and a plan of how to reach the objective,
you could be depended upon to work diligently to achieve the stated goals. Your talents would probably find their best
utilization in the service or support aspects of a company.

In Terms of Your Style & Strength of Various Motivations


People would see you as being motivated to a very great extent by your sincere concern for the well-being of others. In
addition, they may see you as a person who has the potential to achieve some very meaningful objectives which have the
creation of a good level of personal income as a major factor. To achieve at the level of which you are capable and to
obtain both personal and financial satisfaction, you should set your career goals towards obtaining a position in an
organization whose purpose has real human and/or social merit and where you can occasionally take on challenging
special tasks which are very demanding and which will reward you for their successful completion.

In Terms of Your Independence vs Your Need to Be in the 'Team'


You would be described as quite cooperative, obliging, efficient, conscientious, painstaking and team oriented. Generally,
you would be easy on others and quite accepting of supervision. You would be a good company person working well
within a variety of group settings. Security and stability would be valued working conditions desired in the job.

In Terms of Your Orientation Towards the 'People' Side of Business


You would be described as quite sociable, enthusiastic, cheerful, genial and outgoing. You would enjoy personal
relationships and interactions, and would make a good company representative in terms of customer satisfaction and
personal and company public image. You might be very sensitive to rejection in some circumstances.

In Terms of Your Orientation Towards Technical & Practical Concerns


You would be described as quite logical, reflective, analytical, factual and practical. A job requiring the solving of
intellectual or conceptual problems would stimulate a person such as you. You would have a flair for technically
oriented and detailed work. Taking on challenges to learn and use new information in a field that interests you would be
rewarding in itself.

© 1979-2022 Selection Testing Consultants International Ltd.


PREDICTOR OF POTENTIAL POP7.0™ What To Seek/What To Avoid In Jobs

What Should You Look for In a Job/Career that Matches You Best?
+ Look for eventual employment with an organization which has an established work objective and detailed work plan;
preferably one which uses your special talents in an ongoing service or support role rather than in a short-term,
repeating and pressured goal attainment requirement.

+ Your best prospects for both personal satisfaction and personal productivity can be found in career directions
which focus on challenging jobs in which you can see a real value in terms of rendering a valuable and valued
service to people.

+ You should look for a job that is stable in an established work environment. Your preference should be to work
within a recognized team type situation. For even greater job satisfaction, you should find a company that you can
identify with and respect for their products and services.

+ You should look for employment that provides you with people contact or some public relations opportunities. You
derive satisfaction from interaction with other people in both personal and work environments.

+ A job with some learning and technical requirements would be quite satisfying. The opportunity to be creative and to
put your new found knowledge into action would also be appealing to you.

What Should You Avoid in Jobs/Careers that Don't Match You?


- Avoid working in an environment which requires you to be responsible for your own work planning and/or which
requires the attainment of repeated high pressure goals. Unstructured or apparently disorganized work
environments would not be able to employ your talents to the best degree.

- Avoid jobs which you evaluate as having little service orientation. If the company tends to reward everyone the
same regardless of their effort and results you are unlikely to find any 'productivity' satisfaction with them.

- Avoid work environments which have poor supervision or very inexperienced supervisors and those positions that
demand an intense level of independence and/or a high demand to work essentially on your own all of the time.

- You should avoid employment in jobs that have only limited feedback from others. You should also not be in
situations that isolate you from others.

- You should avoid jobs that are not intellectually challenging, creative and those that do not offer a chance for
personal growth in a technical or practical sense.
