We do not measure personality

We do not measure charisma

We measure decision-driving behavior

The 6 Execution Dimensions

Each dimension reflects observable execution under pressure – not opinion
Dimension
Definition
Discovery Depth
Ability to surface economic, political, and personal drivers — not just surface needs.
Risk Calibration
Ability to name, size, and reduce risk without overpromising or retreating.
Value Framing
Ability to anchor value to business outcomes — not features.
Objection Navigation
Ability to handle resistance without defensiveness, discounts, or premature pitching.
Commitment Control
Ability to secure a concrete next step without pressure or discounting.
Conversation Structure
Ability to keep sequencing clean: pacing, focus, and decision clarity.

How Scoring Works (High-level)

Sales Nationals scores execution against a consistent competency standard. Scoring is produced from the live conversation record and observable behavior in context.
