Define a High-Performer Success Profile for Hiring

Generate a multi-dimensional success profile for a sales role covering performance, behavior, and culture dimensions.

About this prompt

This prompt creates a concrete success profile for a specific sales role — covering performance expectations, observable behavioral patterns, and cultural fit criteria — designed for use in hiring, onboarding, and performance conversations. It translates vague 'great rep' intuitions into specific, measurable dimensions. Use it when hiring criteria are inconsistent across interviewers or when coaching conversations lack a shared standard.Success profiles fail when they describe traits (driven, coachable) rather than behaviors (asks for feedback after every call, adjusts approach within a rep cycle without being told). This prompt generates a five-to-seven dimension profile for a specific sales role that defines what great, average, and poor performance looks like in observable, behavioral terms. It covers prospecting activity, discovery quality, pipeline management, deal progression behaviors, and coaching receptiveness. Fill in the role (AE, SDR, CSM), your ICP, and solution type for output calibrated to your specific selling motion. Use this profile in structured interviews as a scoring rubric, in onboarding as a development roadmap, and in performance reviews as the shared standard against which both manager and rep evaluate progress.
