Testimonials

"We are a sales driven company. We have grown both revenues and profits substantially over the past five years. For two years in row now we have been in the top 100 fastest growing companies in the US, according to INC Magazine. What accounts for our success? A good measure is due to the PI tool and management system -- we've hired the right salespeople and account manager, avoided disasters, and more important grown people to acheive levels of performance they never dreamed possible. Thank you Steve Picarde and PI."

"We have been using the Predictive Index program at Cort for more than 15 years and its value to us as both a recruiting and a management development tool is considerable. P.I. has consistently allowed us to accurately match an employee or prospective employee's behavioral tendencies with the needs of the job. Without question P.I. and Steve Picarde have helped us hire better people and lower turnover by understanding the individual's needs and comparing them with the requirements of the job. It is an extremely valuable resource that I use every day."

"We found the Predictive Index System to be invaluable. It's one of the, if not the, most effective management tool we have. We use it extensively to help us hire the right people and work better as a group. We have approximately 200 sales people in the field. There is no question that it has made a major difference in our ability to quickly screen candidates for drive, assertiveness, salesmanship and risk taking. All the senior sales managers believe in the system and have found it to be indispensable. As a matter of fact, every time we've made a hire where the PI would indicate a serious red flag, we've regretted the decision. It is a fabulous tool. It is one of the best investments we've made for our management team."
