Struggling with hiring, and
retaining top talent?

Recruiting, hiring and retaining great employees are the most difficult HR challenges facing employers today, so if this challenge is a stone in your shoe connect with us today and we will help you understand how to hire smart.

For over 35 years, we've been dedicated to helping companies accurately identify candidates who are not only the right fit for the job but also align with the organization's culture and values. We recognize that finding the right people for the job can be challenging, especially when relying solely on traditional methods like reviewing résumés and conducting interviews. These methods often don't provide a complete picture of a candidate's potential, which can lead to costly hiring mistakes.

Our extensive experience has shown that when companies implement our recommended processes—pre-qualifying candidates, conducting structured interviews, utilizing reliable assessment tools, and maintaining clear communication—they can significantly reduce turnover by anywhere from 15 to 50%. This reduction in turnover translates to substantial improvements in overall productivity and employee satisfaction.

We don't just focus on filling positions; we aim to ensure that the individuals you bring on board are the best possible match for both the role and your organization as a whole. By using our dependable tools and proven strategies, you'll be better equipped to assess candidates for both organizational and job fit, making your hiring decisions more informed and effective. Let us help you streamline your hiring process and build a team that not only meets but exceeds your expectations."

Avoid hiring mistakes

Why use custom 
​assessments to hire?

No matter how great an applicant looks on paper or how smooth they appear during the job interview, many are experts at fooling the most experienced recruiter. Difficult personality characteristics, low skill levels, and even issues with integrity may not surface until you have made that costly hiring decision. You are then left to deal with the emotional strain and potential legal problems associated with having to terminate a bad hire, not to mention all the hard costs associated with having to recruit again—more time spent on interviews, re-training, and loss of productivity. The answer to deal with these costly hiring mistakes is to assess candidates for their job fit. Our recommendation is to use our custom approach to pre-employment hiring assessments to ensure that your organization only tests for behaviors and skills that are relevant to the job.

About the Credibility Selling System

The Credibility Selling System is a way to develop strategies that will produce results and recruit, hire and retain great sales talent!

People don't like to be sold but they love to buy! Why do they buy? Fundamentally, one of the following motivations:

Credibility Selling is based on the philosophy that people buy when they are convinced, they are making a good decision based on what they feel is valuable to them individually and their stakeholders. 

To Achieve Credibility with Customers, You Need to Hire Credible Salespeople!

The Credibility Selling System is focused on what salespeople need to do to earn new business: 

  • Need to learn enough credibility to sell your value proposition (not rely on price only)
  • Earn credibility with all the stakeholders and decision-makers involved in the sales opportunity.
  • Have the ability to manage and keep track of where they are in their sales cycle vs. their top competitor.
  • Are engaged in their job and love where they work.
  • Are driven to earn more commissions month after month.

It's a fact that now more than ever before, it takes great sales talent to consistently bust sale goals and consistently acquire new business. To get this job done, it is critical to attract top sales talent and train them to earn the confidence and trust of the people who purchase your products and services.

In order to assure your sales team will consistently earn new business and sell your value proposition at a profit, you must know how to hire salespeople that have what it takes to make this happen, and you need to hire people that have the mental capacity, behavorial traits and motivational interests to become an above-average sales producer.

Recruit and Hire Great People with Confidence

Develop a recruiting and selection strategy to ensure you can find and hire people who can become great sales producers.

Determine before you hire if your candidate has these critical, credibility selling, success factors:

  • Able to learn the knowledge they need to be credible with all decision stake holders?
  • Be able to communicate your value proposition to all the buying influences?
  • Is enterprising and has the ability to persuade stakeholders when presenting ideas?

  • Is the candidate a self-starter that possesses the ability to work in a fast-paced profession?
  • Does the candidate possess the ability to work with a team, lead others and at the same time, be diplomatic?
  • When competition arises, are they ready for the challenge, willing to work with you and your management team to overcome and earn enough credibility to close the business?
  • Do they possess the attitude to be positive regarding people and outcomes?
  • Can they think clearly, be objective in the decision-making and not too quick to make hasty decisions?

The Credibility Selling System Closes More Deals

In every sales opportunity, there are several stakeholders involved in the decision to buy. Credibility Selling is a system that helps you understand where you are at any given time in the sales process vs. your main competitor and helps you strategize with your sales team to move you closer to the sale.

The system covers six important credibilities to a close a deal, they are: Knowledge Credibility, Source Credibility, Solution Credibility, Task Credibility, Trust Credibility, and finally Price Credibility.

We encourage you to contact us to have a brief discussion and sample a few of the tools that are used in this system.

Here are the six credibility factors salespeople need to achieve to win the sale over their competitors; it is based on the philosophy that people buy when the company and salesperson have a value proposition to offer:

1. Knowledge Credibility - they need to believe the company or salesperson has expertise in whatever they are talking about.

2. Source Credibility - They need to know if the company or subject-matter expert is a good choice to do business with and stands behind their promises.

3. Solution Credibility- They need to have the confidence that whatever they purchase will satisfy their needs.

4. Task Credibility - They need to know that they will have the product or service to meet their personal timetable.

5. Trust Credibility - They need to feel that the company and salesperson they are dealing with are trustworthy. 

6.Price Credibility - They need to feel they got their monies worth and paid a reasonably, competitive price

Build customer loyalty

Selection beyond résumés and interviews

For over 35 years, we've been dedicated to helping companies accurately identify candidates who are not only the right fit for the job but also align with the organization's culture and values. We recognize that finding the right people for the job can be challenging, especially when relying solely on traditional methods like reviewing résumés and conducting interviews. These methods often don't provide a complete picture of a candidate's potential, which can lead to costly hiring mistakes.

Our extensive experience has shown that when companies implement our recom mended processes—pre-qualifying candidates, conducting structured interviews, utilizing reliable assessment tools, and maintaining clear communication—they can significantly reduce turnover by anywhere from 15 to 50%. This reduction in turnover translates to substantial Customer loyalty is directly related to how everyone in your communicates and interacts with the people they encounter consistently every day. Our experience is that by using our customer service profile assessment you will be assured that your customers will never be mistreated, or disappointed in the way anyone in your company interacts with them.

The Customer Service Profile™ (CSP) measures how well a person fits specific customer service jobs in an organization. It is used primarily for selecting, onboarding, and managing customer service employees.

The CSP also looks at what your current and future employees believe is a high level of customer service, while at the same time showing where they align or misalign with the company’s perspective. We have a general industry version of this assessment, as well as vertical specialties in hospitality, healthcare, financial services, and retail.

Why assess customer service people?

Given the opportunity to land a new job or promotion, people may offer lip-service instead of the truth. Additionally, much of their success depends on the specific type of job and the organization in which they would work. Success seldom transfers automatically. The cost of a bad hire that is customer-facing is very high, considering the hiring and ramp-up costs, poor productivity, lost revenue, and potential damage to the organization’s reputation.

How does the Customer Service Profile work? Prior to assessing candidates, our experts help you develop peak performance models for your customer service jobs by providing multiple questions against which potential candidates are measured. Once these performance models are established, our clients deliver the CSP to their candidates over the Internet; hiring managers or HR administrators simply forward a link.

The assessment does not need to be monitored, so the candidate can take it from any computer with Internet access. The system instantly scores the assessment and informs hiring managers where they can access the results.

The hiring manager can use the results as a screening tool, or to assist them in the interviewing, selection, or onboarding process.

Improve leadership skills

Excellent leadership assures
greater profitability

Great employees may leave some companies because of their weak leadership. When we find great leaders, those companies generally attain higher engagement levels among their employees. A highly engaged workforce means that people are more productive, and this results in higher profitability. Isn’t that what you want? Ultimately, great companies are a result of great leadership.

In a competitive business environment, effective leadership is an essential requirement to reduce costly turnover, increase productivity, and that leads to a healthier bottom line. To do this, leaders must be able to provide inspiration, motivation, and clear direction to their team.
For any type or size of business, effective leadership will ensure your company will grow and prosper. In the absence of effective leadership, organizations may grow, but more slowly and may lose their direction and competitiveness. Understanding these foundational leadership skills and applying them successfully to your business will help you to become a better leader and will make your business thrive.

The 12 Lessons of Leadership and how to apply these lessons to everyday situations.

Why do people leave their jobs? In survey after survey, employees tell us this.
  • No one told me how to be successful at my job? - Lousy supervision 
  • No one trained me – I am not learning what I want.
  • No one thanked me – I am not recognized for what I do.
  • No one paid me – I don’t see the point of staying here. 
Why do people stay? Because leaders effectively use the concepts of L.E.A.D.
    • LEADING – How to become better by deciding where to go? Leaders provide clear and understandable direction and support; each and every time; to every person with whom they deal.
