After working
with Objective Assessment, many of our clients consider
the high levels of sales force effectiveness they achieve
as a competitive advantage and we agree with them.
For example the Managing Director of
one services company in a highly competitive environment
retained Objective Assessment to evaluate the potential of
his sales organisation to execute the company's strategies
for double digit growth.
The company subsequently embraced all of our
recommendations for growing a stronger sales force and as
a result
in just six months their sales people have doubled gross
profit.
Naturally, they are highly protective of exactly what they
have done to achieve that success and won't be
broadcasting it to their competitors. As a result
you won't find a lot of information about our clients and
what they are doing with us to develop a high performance
sales organisation with the objective of increasing sales
and margins.
What we can
tell you is that our clients in Australia include
companies earning revenues ranging from $1 million to $1
billion. And that over 8,000 sales forces
throughout the world have used the sales force
effectiveness tools now offered exclusively in Australia
through Objective Assessment.

Below are a few brief insights into some of our work.

TMHA and Objective Assessment started working together to
diagnose the New South Wales sales force during their
integration with BT. The diagnostic provided
crucial insights into the capability and growth
potential of the sales force -- in particular sales
management. "It was key to get top management
sorted before we worried about the sales team underneath
-- and if this wasn't right then we were going to fail
every time." Dave Fletcher, General Manager
Operations, TMHA. Please email for a detailed Case
Study

"The
company was investing heavily in training and developing
its national sales team in five States, when it sought
Objective Assessment's expertise to improve its return on
investment. As a result, The Laminex Group now has a
better understanding of its people, improved ROI for its
training budget, and is creating the change required to
realise the company’s commercial potential."

Listen to what one of the participating sales managers had
to say.....
Objective Assessment is key to unlocking the potential of
Dexion’s sales force.
Dexion Limited is the name behind the
world-class storage systems used by high profile clients
Coles Myer, Woolworths, Bunnings, Universal Music and the
National Library of Australia. In August 2003, a
world-wide restructure of the Dexion Group provided the
opportunity for Dexion Australia to become fully
Australian-owned.
Dexion recognises the critical impact of
the sales function on its business and by using Objective
Assessment’s innovative expertise for increasing sales
force effectiveness they now have a blueprint for
developing the national sales team, focusing sales
training expenditure and closing the margin for error when
it comes to hiring the right sales people. The Objective
Assessment sales force effectiveness expertise is
continuing to play an integral part in Dexion's long-term sales management
strategy.

continue to help Dexion grow sales and profits.
Companion Credit Union Uses Objective Assessment expertise
as first step towards building sales culture
No one could have imagined
back in 1974 how successful and far reaching Companion
Credit Union would become. Originally developed as a
banking alternative for the mining fraternity in the
Hunter, the company has grown into one of the region’s
most successful financial institutions.
Companion Credit Union realised they had to
change their sales culture from a service organisation to
a sales force so they brought in Objective Assessment to
begin the process of change.
Call us on (02) 9025 3980 to learn how
more about
developing a sales culture.
Olex Australia uses
Objective Assessment to identify unused capacity in its
salesforce
Olex manufactures the
widest range of power cables in Australia, supplying the
country's electricity, mining and rail industries, a
burgeoning international market including China,
Sri Lanka as well as electrical wholesalers in Australia
and New Zealand. Many among
Olex's 800
strong workforce are long term
employees. So when a management
buy-out accelerated the pace
of change, the company sought Objective Assessment's
independent expertise to assess its sales team.
The
objective assessment of the capability of the sales force
has created the framework needed to manage the sales
people, their performance and their value to Olex.

(02) 9025 3980 to learn more about the Olex success.

PROPERTY GROUP mCgEES
RECOGNISES CHANGE IN MARKET REQUIRES DIFFERENT SALES
SKILLS
"In
the current market conditions we recognized that no
company could afford to have underperforming
salespeople. Business success is based on quality
decisions and quality decisions are based on quality
information. Objective Assessment gives us that quality
information. Twelve months ago we identified the need
for sales people with outstanding hunter & closer
characteristics as the market conditions had changed.
Using the OMG Salesforce Evaluations when recruiting, I
am able to accurately identify the candidates that will
be able to sell my product in my market even before I
read a resume or make contact with them. This takes the
guess work out of sales recruiting, saving us time and
money. The only decision I need to make is which of the
hirable candidates would fit within our team. With my
current staff I was able to use the OMG evaluations to
identify hidden weakness’s that were affecting their
sales results. I could now tailor training to specific
needs of my staff rather than wasting money on
irrelevant training. This is a win win for all."
Objective assessment has given us the tools we were
seeking to make the right decisions when hiring,
training & developing our sales team.”
