These aptitudes are potential growth areas for the salesperson as they refine their talents into sales skills. A simple example: some children are born with a natural aptitude towards music. However, without lessons (skill development), they will never develop that aptitude into concert hall piano playing (the actual skill derived from the aptitude).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"main_text\">This crucial assessment provides an objective measurement of 60 individual aptitudes using a 0 to 10 point scale. Different combinations of these 60 aptitudes provide even further understanding of the salesperson\u2019s capacities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"main_text\"><span class=\"main_text\">Some important salesperson aptitudes include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #664975;\">Personal Accountability:&nbsp;
