Assessment & Analytics

Believe it or not, you can find and hire top producers; he or she may even be someone else's poor performer. Our experience clearly shows that there is no such thing as a standard good sales or management "type"... Your company is unique, your management is unique, and, most likely, your customers are also unique. And if a person is going to sell or manage for your company, that person will need to fit your pattern for success.

The Strategic Development Worldwide system identifies your uniqueness though an innovative method of analysis and modeling, then establishes a go / no-go criteria for selection. We can handle it all for you or train and coach your own people. Your call.

But that's not all; you can even do a compatibility match-up of the new prospect to their prospective boss, work team, and client type. Another benefit top management likes about the Strategic Development system is the ability to pinpoint why your less effective people are not producing, enabling you to focus in on how to get them on their way to the top.

About and Why Assessments

• Have you ever spent countless hours training an employee with only limited results?
• Management Issues: People don't usually quit jobs, they quit people... do you have managers who aren't effective or strong leaders?
• How much does it cost you when employees "no show" for work, aren't effective while they are there? Would you like to hire honest, dependable, hard working employees?
• Sales Force Issues: Is 20% of your sales force producing 80% of the business? Would you like to hire more top producing salespeople? Would you like to train your current salespeople to be more productive?
• Employee Issues: When considering Pre-Employment screening, Goodness of Job Fit, Effectiveness Prediction, Career Development or Restructuring, is it a challenge to find the right people, to move employees along the right path, to build effective teams?
• Have you ever promoted your best employee to a management position, and it was a terrible fit?
