Performance Evaluation Guide

Score Definitions & Assessment Criteria

Score Definitions (1–5)

This guide provides detailed criteria for evaluating performance across six key categories. Each score level represents a distinct performance tier with specific behavioral indicators and outcomes.

1

Needs Major Improvement

Rapport & Credibility:

Struggles to build trust; prospect remains cold or confused. No meaningful industry knowledge demonstrated.

Framing & Structure:

Intro unclear or missing; visuals/qualifiers absent or introduced far too late. Prospect expresses confusion.

Objection Handling:

Creates unnecessary objections, mishandles real ones, or accepts deferrals without challenge.

Closing Discipline:

Ignores buying signals, shifts into small talk or email, no attempt to secure deposit.

Tone & Confidence:

Apologetic, hesitant, sheepish delivery undermines authority.

Urgency & Persuasion:

No urgency; prospect leaves without next step or commitment.

2

Emerging

Rapport & Credibility:

Basic rapport established, but shallow; prospect warms slightly but remains skeptical. Limited authority shown.

Framing & Structure:

Introduction is disorganized or overly long. Visuals/qualifiers included too late, causing confusion.

Objection Handling:

Responds passively; addresses some objections but often introduces new ones. Frequently defers to email.

Closing Discipline:

Attempts to close but inconsistent; buying signals often mishandled. No clear payment ask.

Tone & Confidence:

Uneven tone; moments of confidence but often undermined by apologetic phrasing.

Urgency & Persuasion:

Weak urgency; closes often dictated by prospect's calendar rather than guided by the rep.

3

Developing

Rapport & Credibility:

Builds trust and demonstrates industry awareness; prospect engages but not fully convinced.

Framing & Structure:

Introduction clearer, though still too long or lacking polish. Visuals/qualifiers present but not crisp.

Objection Handling:

Handles basic objections but struggles to reframe deferrals into commitments.

Closing Discipline:

Delivers core elements of the close but may miss timing or fail to secure payment.

Tone & Confidence:

Generally confident but inconsistent; silence occasionally used effectively.

Urgency & Persuasion:

Creates some urgency, but often leaves next steps too soft.

4

Proficient

Rapport & Credibility:

Prospect trusts and engages quickly; Leon demonstrates strong industry knowledge and credibility.

Framing & Structure:

Intro is crisp with qualifiers; visuals early. Prospect understands the offering clearly by 2 minutes.

Objection Handling:

Anticipates and neutralizes objections without creating new ones. Handles deferrals with partial reframes.

Closing Discipline:

Recognizes buying signals, delivers attendance/deposit/fees clearly, but may hesitate slightly on the payment ask.

Tone & Confidence:

Consistently confident and professional; authority present; silence used effectively.

Urgency & Persuasion:

Drives clear next steps; urgency is felt, though sometimes reliant on external factors (e.g., event dates).

5

Exemplary

Rapport & Credibility:

Immediate trust; prospect feels they are speaking with a peer and authority figure.

Framing & Structure:

60-second intro, clear and powerful. Screen share and qualifiers early. Prospect grasps exclusivity and value instantly.

Objection Handling:

Never creates objections. Reframes every concern into momentum toward the close. Converts deferrals into same-call commitments.

Closing Discipline:

Perfect timing. Seizes buying signals instantly. Delivers attendance, deposit, and fees crisply. Always moves to card/payment choice.

Tone & Confidence:

Confident, steady, never apologetic. Silence used masterfully. Prospect feels guided and reassured.

Urgency & Persuasion:

Urgency tied directly to exclusivity and value. Prospect leaves the call either closed or with a clear, locked-in next step.

Assessment Guidelines

Scoring Approach

Evaluate each category independently based on observed behaviors and outcomes. Consider the overall impact on prospect engagement and conversion potential.

Development Focus

Scores of 1-2 require immediate coaching intervention. Scores of 3-4 indicate solid foundation with room for refinement. Score of 5 represents mastery level.
