What is Sales SJT?
This SJT presents realistic sales scenarios — objection handling, pricing pressure, competitive situations, relationship versus results trade-offs — measuring the practical commercial judgement that separates strong performers from those who simply interview well.

Why does it matter?
Sales hiring based on interview charisma alone routinely misses candidates whose actual deal judgement — objection handling, pricing discipline, ethical boundaries — doesn't match their presentation skill. McDaniel, Morgeson, Finnegan, Campion & Braverman's (2001) meta-analysis of 102 SJT validity studies found situational judgement tests predict job performance (r=0.34) even after controlling for cognitive ability and personality — capturing practical deal-judgement that interview charisma alone does not.

Frequently asked questions
Should this replace a sales role-play in the interview?
It's a strong complement, not a replacement — combining a scored, standardised SJT with a live role-play gives both consistency and real-time observation.
Does this predict actual sales results?
SJTs are validated on judgement quality, which correlates with sales performance; combining this with SalesAxis personality data and track record gives the strongest overall prediction.
