Senior Executive Testimonials

"I first heard about the PI® from an associate in the restaurant industry in Toronto whose opinions I value greatly. Frankly, I couldn't believe the statistics he was telling me! I took the PI. myself and was astounded at the accuracy of the results. It was as if I was looking at a mirror of myself, and that from 100 questions that I self-selected. Incredible accuracy. I look forward to working with the PI team to see how we can possibly integrate some of the concepts into our student learning."

Howard F. Muchnick, Assistant Professor,
Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management,
Ryerson University

"There was a 100% satisfaction rating of the product by all clients and of those surveyed, 67% of the companies using the PI® tool are expecting on average a growth of approximately 8% within the next year, despite the economic times. This finding helps illustrate the positive effect PI can have on overall business development."

Predictive Index® Performance Snapshot
Validity Study / Quantitative Results
Industry: Information Services
Position: Inside Sales Representative

Results
Top-performing inside sales representatives outperformed the bottom performers by over two times relative to their annual sales goals.

Criteria: This statistical analysis is based upon a PI Worldwide® validity study conducted with 67 inside sales representatives. PI Worldwide validity studies are designed to determine the statistical connections between Predictive Index profiles and superior job performance. The data for this study was collected over a nine-month period from January to September, 2009.

Industry
The client company is a Fortune 500 information services organization which provides news, information, analysis and data services to a wide variety of industries around the world.

Position
An inside sales representative sells the company’s products and accompanying services, typically through outbound calling, with the goal of meeting annual revenue targets.

Analysis
Statistical testing indicated that top-performing inside sales representatives for this company had significantly Higher B Factors (EXTRAVERSION), Lower C Factors (PATIENCE) and Lower D Factors (FORMALITY) than did the bottom performers. Top-performers also tended to have wider Factor B>A, Factor B>C and Factor B>D spreads than did the bottom performers.

The relevance of the Higher B of top-performers enables them to be more skillful at the emotional elements of the sales process, by connecting with prospects and current clients on a social and interpersonal (as opposed to technical) basis, uncovering their needs at a meaningful level, and using persuasion, not pressure, to finalize the sale. They are stimulating and motivating communicators, poised, and project a sense of warmth, caring, confidence and enthusiasm. Within a sales context, they are adept at navigating the “politics” of an organization, building a social network quickly and identifying the key players and decision-makers who will influence a sale.

The Lower C of top-performers gives them a strong sense of urgency, initiative and a competitive drive to get things done. When paired with the Higher B, they channel this urgency and intensity into working with and through others to accomplish their goals. The Lower D of top-performing inside sales representatives lends their behavior somewhat more flexibility and adaptability, with more comfort “thinking on their feet” as opposed to having a detailed plan to follow.
