Testimonials

One of the many advantages of PathShare is the assessment and the assessment tools they bring to the table...

June Crawford
President, Copygraphix Inc. (Tucson, AZ)

Our organization has just wrapped up our most recent hiring project with the PathShare Team and we could not be more pleased with the job they have done for our company. We have already changed our behaviors and revamped our onboarding which is proving to be invaluable for our new hires, managers and fellow employees. This is a great program and I would encourage other dealers to engage with the PathShare HR team!

Jim Dotter
President, Virginia Business Systems (Richmond, VA)

Infomax has seen tremendous growth in our sales representatives after going through the GreatAmerica PathShare program and PSS sales training. We have taken people from what we feel are transactional sellers to true consultative sales representatives, thus finding customer needs and helping our customers.

Steve Jacobs
President, Infomax Office Systems, Inc. (Des Moines, IA)

The PathShare hiring program has helped us look at people differently. We've had such great hires in the last six months and we couldn't have asked for better people. It was really due to the GreatAmerica training on what to look for in people and where they would fit in with our company.

John Jones
VP, Human Resources Cannon IV (Indianapolis, IN)

Thanks to GreatAmerica and their PathShare HR Services offerings, We now hire much more qualified individuals which has significantly expedited their productivity. This ROI is something I wish we had in all aspects of our business.

Dave Strohman
President and Managing Partner, Executive Technologies, Inc. (Sioux City, IA)

"Just as important as creating the opportunity of having those sales, you need to create a second pipeline—not a marketing or sales pipeline. You need to create a recruiting pipeline."

Dan Adams
CEO, New England Network Solutions (Woburn, MA)

Strategic Planning can be a powerful process if done well. It can be the difference between driving straight to your business goals or taking a long, winding road to get there. Read on and consider these common pitfalls.

“How do I attract and retain top sales talent?” While the question is generally simple, there is no silver bullet, obviously, or it wouldn’t come up time and time again as one of our industry’s greatest challenges.

One of the biggest mistakes companies make is not following up on their investment of time and money in employee training. The crime is not sending your employees to training. The crime is the lack of intentional follow-up for those that attend trainings.

Why is it easier to address the problems in our business when we're in pain and not before the pain sets in? Address your culture before it becomes painful. Here are 7 warning signs that your culture may need a little TLC.
