Assessing route sales applicants
GIG HARBOR, WA — A critical issue facing route development is the selection of successful route sales staff. Methods For Management, in conjunction with Prevue Assessment, has developed a program to assist drycleaners in making better hiring decisions.
The program starts with identifying the skills, interests and personality traits of successful route sales staff. Individual applicants are assessed to determine whether they are a good match against other successful sales staff.
MFM has combined its extensive knowledge of the drycleaning industry, benchmarked some of the most successful route sales staff in the country, gathered information from its industry clients, and worked with Prevue Assessments, a leading assessment company, to design an assessment tool to specifically meet the needs of drycleaning business owners and to help them grow their route sales.
The MFM Prevue Assessment system measures candidates against a benchmark of work-related abilities, interests and personality traits.
This integrated assessment system provides critical information to the owner regarding the candidate’s learning style, abilities, motivation and work-related characteristics.
It provides insights that will help to improve sales results, reduce attrition, and provide guidance for effective and individualized training.
Individual assessments and volume discounts are available.
