Results
♦︎ Terminator
You have one goal ahead of you and you don’t see any obstacles. No use case? You’ll find one. Objections? Great, more reasons to prove them wrong. Prospects don’t pick up the phone? Who cares, you know where they live. You’ll get any client to the end of the sales cycle whether they want it or not. And if it doesn’t happen on the first try, you’ll be back.

♥︎ Clark Kent
Whatever Clark Ken't, you can. In normal life, you’re just an ordinary law-abiding citizen, kind-hearted, and sometimes even shy. But whenever you hear the dialing sound, it awakens your superpowers. You become confident, concentrated, you listen and hear at the same time, you can handle any objection, and most importantly, you genuinely care about the client and their needs.

★ Gandalf
Been there, seen that – that’s your life's motto. You’ve read all the sales books on the planet, written two salesperson’s manifestos, defeated a dragon, and closed deals on the first call. Your colleagues admire you; your competitors fear you; but all of them want to learn from you. There’s no wiser salesperson than you (unless somebody else got the same result in this test. Then you have some competition).

☀︎ Harry Potter
You're the one who survived… onboarding. It wasn’t easy but here you are, in the world you never thought you would find yourself in. You always end up having the wildest sales adventures, and apparently, the craziest prospects. You’re good at sales, but most of your achievements come with an intensive trial-error phase or some extra luck. But what one might call sheer luck, we call being a natural!
