Based on 20 Years of Competency Research
The STAR Performance Simulator is based on extensive research with more than 3,000 sales professionals. The study identified the core competencies and success factors of top performers.
A competency is defined as the underlying cluster of attitudes, knowledge and skills working together to produce superior performance within a specific job and/or organization.
Each STAR Performance Simulator module includes a competency based self-assessment. Participants answer a questionnaire with 20 statements. The responses are computer-scored and the results are shown in a competency profile.

The Power of Instant Feedback
After each objection and the related responses, the program reveals a rating screen. Each response is rated by dragging the images of the salespeople to "Bronze" for good, "Silver" for better, and "Gold" for best.
The results of the rating are displayed in real-time on the Performance Meter located on the left of the screen. Numerous research studies have proven that immediate feedback plays a major role in competency development and performance improvement.
