Sales Management

Motivate Your Team to Turn Knowledge into Action—and Results.

It’s one of management’s toughest issues: How do you bridge the gap between knowing and doing? How do you get your team to apply what they learn? Why is it that some people seem to “get it” right away... while others take much longer to turn learning into action?

The answer often hinges on the individual motivations that drive workplace behavior.

Using the Predictive Index® (PI®), sales leadership can identify the natural motivations of their team members—different, of course, for each individual.

PI helps managers better understand how these drives impact on-the-job performance. They can then use this “inside knowledge” to work with their people to improve the application of newly-learned selling skills across all levels of the sales organization—and to enhance overall sales effectiveness and productivity.

Telecommunications/Inbound Customer Service Representatives

This statistical analysis is based upon a PI validity study conducted with 218 inbound customer service representatives of a Fortune 500 telecommunications company which provides satellite-based television services to home consumers and businesses throughout the United States. The quantitative measurement criterion is based on a data collected over a four month period from January to April, 2009 and it was found that a group of customer service representatives (CSRs) who were retained by the organization for over twice as long as others differed predictably and significantly with respect to their Predictive Index (PI®) patterns. The same Predictive Index patterns that promoted CSR retention also correlated strongly with gains in three key operating metrics.
