About the Retail Sales test

At the heart of every sale is a relationship with a customer. With online sales becoming commonplace, today’s customers need a compelling reason to work with a sales consultant. Therefore, mastering the art of building strong, enduring relationships leads to higher customer satisfaction and survey scores, more business from referrals, and lifelong repeat customers.

This Retail Sales test evaluates candidates’ ability to connect with customers using multiple contact methods, and how effectively they can assess the needs and wants of their customers through questioning and listening actively. This test also evaluates candidates’ ability to talk about products in an engaging way that puts the relationship first and maintains those relationships after the sale.

Candidates who do well on this test have a strong understanding of the importance of the customer relationship in the sales process and will ensure a more loyal customer base and increased profits/revenue.

What our customers are saying

TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
