About Sales Superstar Inventory

The Journey of SSI

Insights from Sales Superstars to Modern Sales Competencies

The Sales Star Inventory (SSI) was created by Raymond Phoon and introduced in his book, “The DNA of a Sales Superstar”, 2009, which was clinically adapted from the Directive Communication Psychology Colored Brain Communication Inventory by Arthur F Carmazzi. The Colored Brain Model is a part of the Directive Communication Psychology developed by Arthur F Carmazzi, and depicted in his original Book “Identity Intelligence”, by Veritas Publishing, 2002. 
That was the beginning of SSI version 1.0 which provided the original sales insights from a sales professional’s disposition range (selling perspective).
SSI, currently in its third edition, is available for both online and offline administration. SSI 3.0 includes insights related to behavioral traits, sales personality types, sales competencies (16 sets), motivational drive (with over 40 different values measured) and job fit matching.
