How the Global Sales Capability Index 2026 Was Measured

The Global Sales Capability Index | First Edition | April 2026

Data Collection

Dual-scored capability inputs completed independently by sales professionals and their direct managers. Conducted quarterly as part of each organisation’s enablement process. Classification is contextual, set within each organisation’s own quota structure and role expectations. Future editions will include further behaviour scores through calls and AI role plays.

Scoring

1–7 scale, normalised to 0–100 composite index. Perception gap = self score minus manager score.

Performance Linkage

Quota attainment at time of measurement across standardised bands (<50%, 50–75%, 75–100%, 100– 125%, 125–150%, 150%+) + sales velocity metrics.

Scale

500,000+ dual-scored assessments collected over six years across multiple industries and 45 countries.
