Know who can sell.
What it feels like to be assessed.
No CV screen, no one-way video. A calm, spoken conversation with an AI interviewer, scored on the four meritt behaviours. Press play to watch a real exchange.
The orb is the salesperson's only focus. It breathes while it listens and comes alive when it speaks, so the whole thing feels like a conversation, not an exam.
- One spoken conversation, a few short segments
- Coaching moments woven in to test how they adapt
- Scored against curiosity, coachability, communication and grit
Your whole team, one view.
Every person you assess lands on the map. Toggle between the four behaviours and the skills the role needs. Strong, some or none, never a number. Orange is where to focus, and there is no red, because this develops people, it does not rank them to be fired.
| Your team | Curiosity | Coachability | Communication | Grit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aisha K. | Strong | Some | Strong | Some |
| Tom R. | Some | Strong | Some | Strong |
| Priya S. | Strong | Strong | Strong | Some |
| Marco B. | None | None | Some | Strong |
| Lena F. | Strong | Strong | Strong | Some |
| Jordan P. | Some | None | Strong | Strong |
| Strong cover | 3 of 6 | 3 of 6 | 4 of 6 | 3 of 6 |
4 of 6 reps strong. Lean on it, and use them to coach the rest.
Only 3 of 6 strong. The clearest place to put enablement next.
No single points of failure here. Strong cover is spread across the team.
A plan for the team you have, notes for the ones you hire.
Every read is a citation. Strong, some or none is never the end of it. Each judgment is backed by the exact thing the person said and the moment they said it. No black-box score, nothing you cannot defend, to the rep, to your board, or to yourself.
Tom is your grittiest rep and acts on feedback fast. But discovery is shallow, he pitches before he diagnoses. Fix that and his close rate moves.
Strong communicator, quick on her feet, lighter on grit. Worth probing how she handles a bad stretch before you make an offer.
It gets sharper the more you test.
Every assessment feeds the methodology. The more your team and your candidates test, the better meritt learns what makes a salesperson succeed in your business, and the sharper every read becomes.
Every test adds signal.
Each assessment is more labelled evidence of what good looks like, for the role and for your business.
The model learns.
meritt learns which behaviours and skills actually predict who ramps and who closes, and tunes the benchmarks.
The next read is sharper.
The more you test, the sharper every read, the better the shortlist, and the more it knows your bar.

What is a sales talent map?
A sales talent map shows every person on your team against the behaviours and skills the role needs. meritt builds one from a short spoken assessment, marking each as strong, some or none, so you can see strengths, gaps and single points of failure at a glance.
How does meritt assess a salesperson?
Each person has a short spoken conversation with an AI interviewer. meritt reads the transcript against the four behaviours, curiosity, coachability, communication and grit, plus the skills the role needs, and backs every judgment with a citation from what they actually said.
Can I assess my current sales team, not just candidates?
Yes. The same assessment runs on the reps you already employ and the candidates you are hiring, so you see your whole team on one map and can coach, develop and promote on the same basis.
Does meritt give a score?
No. meritt does not score people out of 100. Every read is strong, some or none, each backed by the exact quote and the moment behind it. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is a number you cannot defend.
How long does the assessment take?
Around 15 to 30 minutes of spoken conversation, depending on the role. Candidates and team members do it in their own time, with no login and no CV upload.
