WASP gives sales leaders a scenario-based engine to assess candidates before you hire them — and coach your existing team to the next level. Built on 30 years of real-world sales experience.
Most sales hiring decisions are made on charm and a good story. Most coaching conversations are based on anecdote and gut feel. The result? Bad hires that cost you $50–$100K. Underperforming reps nobody knows how to fix.
WASP changes that. Real scenarios. Real answers. Real insight into how your people think and sell — before you commit, and throughout their career on your team.
Average cost of a bad sales hire when you factor in salary, onboarding, lost deals, and time to replace.
Sales hires underperform in the first year — not because they can't sell, but because nobody assessed how they think.
Average time to run a full assessment cycle with a team of 3 reps on the Core plan — enough for 8 coaching cycles per year.
Three steps stand between you and a coaching agenda built on real data, not guesswork.
Choose a role type, select 8–10 scenario-based questions across the competencies that matter most to you, and name your assessment. Takes less than 5 minutes.
Paste in email addresses and send. Your candidates or reps answer in their own words — no login required on their end. Results come back automatically.
Get a full report with competency scores, red flags, recommended follow-up questions, and a 30/60/90-day coaching agenda — built specifically for that person.
WASP isn't just a hiring tool. It's how smart sales leaders run the entire development cycle.
Send assessments before interviews. Walk into every conversation already knowing how candidates think, handle objections, and approach discovery.
Run your team through a fresh assessment every 6–8 weeks. Track competency scores over time. Know exactly what to focus on in every 1:1.
Baseline your new rep in week one. Use the Coach's Corner as their 30/60/90-day development plan. Start coaching from day one, not month three.
Send before an offsite or team training. Results tell you exactly what to focus the session on — no more generic training agendas.
Send 2–3 targeted questions on one competency. Review the score together in your next 1:1. Focused, efficient, measurable development.
Run a comprehensive baseline once a year. Compare year-over-year competency growth. Make performance conversations data-driven, not subjective.
Watch the overview to understand what WASP does and why it works — then dive into the how-to video to see exactly how to build, send, and interpret your first assessment.
