Congratulations on your assignment to take the Business to Business Sales Essentials℠ Assessment (B2BSE℠). This assessment will measure your knowledge and awareness of the best practices associated with selling in a business-to-business sales environment. It is product, service and industry agnostic, and covers foundational principles of the entire sales B2B process:

- Presenting Solutions to Uncovered Needs
- Developing and Presenting Proposals
- Effectively Handling Resistance
- Closing Sales Professionally
- Follow-Up Skills

Questions are grouped by their associated competency (or above step in the sales process). The grouping by competency is done by PAGE - one page for each competency. Each of the ten competencies consists of five to twelve questions, for a total of 80 questions in all. Most questions are in a multiple choice format and questions may have multiple correct answers. We recommend you read each question and its possible answers thoroughly before answering.
Focus. This assessment requires you to fully focus on each question. it is best taken during periods of time when you can be interruption-free.
Scoring. Correct answers to questions on this assessment have positive points associated with them. Point values increase for the most correct answers and fewer points for second best answers. Incorrect answers may score either zero points for mildly incorrect answers, or negative points for strongly incorrect responses. Bottom line: read the question and the associated answers carefully before responding!
BACK and NEXT Buttons: At the bottom of each PAGE are two buttons, BACK and NEXT. The two buttons allow you to move forward or backward in the assessment. Whenever you click on either button, all of your work up to that point in time is saved. This action will permit you to log off the assessment if you want to take a break.
Measuring Your Progress: At the bottom of each PAGE below the two buttons, BACK and NEXT, you'll see a progress bar. It will tell you how much of the assessment you've completed when you finish the questions on the PAGE.
