Below are three summaries of case studies in which Spearhead's Performance Development System "CulturemetricsŪ" successfully improved performance. Click the links to read each case study in full.
The MD of a family company with a direct sales force of 64 sales people asked us to review their selection process. They used a battery of psychometric tests in which they had great faith.
Recently, a non-executive director pointed out that there was a considerable difference in the sales performance within the sales force and therefore, he believed that the selection procedure was not discriminating well enough between those who could do a reasonable selling job and those who were the superior performers. The company had tried several different incentive and motivational packages over several years to no noticeable effect on sales. We were asked to research these issues.
