ACUITY® 360 TALENT AUDIT

See sales capability from every angle

Acuity® 360 brings together feedback from customers, managers, peers, direct reports and the individual to reveal sales strengths, blind spots and focused development priorities.

Built around the nine capabilities in the Acuity for Strategic Sales model, it turns multiple perspectives into clear priorities for coaching, talent and team development.

WHO PROVIDES FEEDBACK

Five perspectives. One coherent view.

Feedback from different working relationships reveals recognised strengths, unseen gaps and the areas where focused development could make the greatest difference.

Customers

How the individual builds trust, understands needs and creates value.

Managers

Observed capability, performance and focused development priorities.

Peers

Collaboration, influence and contribution across the wider team.

Direct reports

Leadership, direction and support for others, where applicable.

Self

The individual’s own view of their strengths and development needs.

WHAT IT REVEALS

See where perspectives align—and where they differ

The value of Acuity® 360 lies in comparing how sales capability is experienced across different working relationships.

Recognised strengths
Capabilities that are consistently valued across several feedback groups.

Blind spots
Differences between the individual’s self-perception and other people’s experience.

Contextual differences
Capabilities that may be demonstrated more strongly with some groups than others.

Focused priorities
Specific behaviours to target through coaching, development and ongoing feedback.

WHERE IT ADDS VALUE

Apply insight where it matters most

Acuity® 360 supports focused development at individual, team and organisational levels.

Coaching and development

Give individuals specific evidence to explore with their manager or coach and convert into a focused development plan.

Programme evaluation

When feedback is repeated, assess how targeted capabilities are being experienced differently over time.

Team benchmarking

Identify shared strengths, recurring gaps and development themes across a sales or client-facing team.

Talent and succession

Add multi-source behavioural evidence to development, progression and succession discussions.

THE ACUITY® MODEL

Feedback grounded in strategic sales capability

Acuity® 360 uses the same nine-capability model as Acuity for Strategic Sales. Feedback is organised around Personal Drive—why people act, Sales Focus—what they do, and Interpersonal capability—how they build customer relationships.

This keeps the feedback specific to the capabilities that influence commercial effectiveness, rather than relying on broad personality descriptions or generic performance statements.
