The Three Purposes Of Marketing
Surprisingly few people can even tell you the purposes of marketing; let alone how to achieve those primary purposes.

Data Collection? Save Yourself the Trouble.
Why pay your consultant or internal project team to spend up front time collecting data that will only burn up hours (and fees) and inhibit the solution that you so sorely need? The time to collect data is during the assessment of the solution, not during the assessment of the problem.

Article Writing and Article Submission for SEO
Article writing and submission serves two distinct purposes, geared towards promoting your online business. Articles can build your reputation in your specific industry, while building up back links for SEO purposes. Ever wonder why there are so many free article publishing sites?

Employee Testing and Assessments
According to the US Department of Labor all assessment tools used to make employment decisions are subject to professional and legal standards. For example, both the evaluation of a resume and the use of a highly standardized achievement test must comply with applicable laws. Assessment tools used solely for career exploration or counseling are usually not held to the same legal standards.
Benchmarking your Core Competencies
All organizations claim to have “core competencies” but few actually benchmark their capabilities to track and measure improvements over time. Take the time to evaluate your business from a high-level, and commit to continuous improvement. Use Demand Metric’s Core Competencies Assessment to set a baseline for your organization, and work to improve your score before your next self-assessment.
Risk Assessment & Analysis Techniques

Download & customize Demand Metric’s Risk Assessment Tool, Risk Mitigation Checklist, and Risk Analysis (Fishbone) Tool, and add to your skills arsenal.
Case History - Sneak Preview of a Candidate
It never ceases to amaze me when clients receive nasty-grams from sales candidates who are - let's call it put-off - by the client's request that they first take our on-line assessment. The candidates receive a very nice email thanking them for sending their resume, explaining the client's recruiting process and asking them to take the assessment. You just wouldn't believe some of the notes I've seen. Name calling, cussing, threats, sarcasm, and more. Here's a typical sample:
The 360 Degree Trap
Many organizations use a 360 Degree Assessment to measure the effectiveness of leaders. I have always been a proponent of this method as it provides vital information required to improve leadership and build trust. There is a potential trap in this method if the assessment is strongly linked to compensation.
10 Reasons - Don't Worry When Sales Candidates Don't Take the Test
We instruct clients to have their sales candidates take the Sales Candidate assessment very early in the recruiting process. It's the first step after the client receives their resumes. Clients carefully spell out exactly how the entire process will work and explain that the assessment is simply the first step. Recent statistics show that only 34% of the candidates are taking the assessment without additional prompts. Isn't that awful? Maybe - let's explore it further. We should consider that the following ten scenarios are all possible reasons why candidates fail to complete the assessment:
