AXA Malaysia has been growing steadily over the past few years in Malaysia and has therefore been hiring aggressively to support its expansion plans.
In order to ensure the utmost productivity, AXA needed a systematic and scientific approach in recruiting and training the best-suited candidates for its sales force.
As an organization, AXA Malaysia now uses The Sales Star Inventory (SSI) for the following:
1. Recruitment and Hiring of Salespeople (as an SOP, no letter of offer would be issued until SSI reports show an acceptable level of sales suitability for any pre-qualified post-interview selected candidates)
2. Training and Development (salespeople are taught how to read their SSI reports in order to determine their strengths and areas of improvement)
3. Coaching (sales leaders utilize SSI to align personal development goals with their sales teams)
4. Training Needs Analysis (using SSI model of excellence of mapping it’s high vs lower performing sales people’s SSI results & sales outcomes, AXA’s L&D department can prioritize the most urgent sales training needs and budget based on empirical data and scientifically validated analysis)
