How To Get Your Employees To Run Through Walls For You

Since I was 16 I have never been trained to do the job I was hired for! Since then every employer has relied on the training of a previous employer! Do you give your employees special training per your business’ needs and your unique customers?

My experience poses a fundamental flaw in the system of employee training. Inadequate training leads to excessive employee turnover and directly affects your customer base, which erodes your profits substantially.

Without effective screening, and selecting and daily coaching, training, mentoring and teaching you cannot reach the profits you wish you had, and, in fact, believe you should have.

Too many employers hire on the premise of “lack of noticeable weakness” instead of proven strengths! This report is designed to help you find the strengths your potential hires have and must have.


This report identifies the 7 characteristics possessed by a leader—you are looking for leaders in your hires aren’t you? Consider these characteristics as you interview. You will find that each section has a number of questions that will help you discover if your interviewee has these characteristics.

The potential employee that has the most of these characteristics will have the skills needed to make an impact on your business. The dirty little secret in corporate America is that they don’t have the depth of knowledge they need to move them forward and really grow their business*1.
