SalesTest Philosophy

"Don't wait for opportunity. Create it."

Often heard motivational advice, unknown author

For companies that rely on a salesforce, finding and developing sales talent is critical for success. Sales people are a direct reflection of a company and a skilled sales team creates opportunities. This is the “why” behind SalesTest.
