ProDirect Launches Sales Talent Management System
Lawrenceville, NJ – Wednesday, October 4, 2006

ProDirect, a leading provider of sales assessments, training and coaching solutions, today launched their Sales Talent Management™ (STM) system. STM is a results-producing process that develops salespeople in a way that ensures organizations can sustain the execution of their business strategy. STM helps sales executives assess and manage the potential of their sales talent while providing unique training and coaching opportunities to close critical skill gaps. "We found with our clients that implementing their sales plan effectively required more than just training. What they needed was a renewed focus on their culture, a robust learning system, performance support systems, and coordinated execution", according to ProDirect’s President and founder Bill Walton.

“What we’ve done is surrounded ProDirect’s training library with an up front assessment and competency validation. While it sounds complicated, our tools are giving sales leaders a clear window into their talent, making it easier for them to recruit, manage, and retain good people.” Within STM, each salesperson gets a personally prescribed development plan to support their in class training, all within a process that their manager is bought in to.

Other STM components include a sales process rationalization protocol that aligns with how buyers buy and supports competency development at each stage. According to Walton, "Our STM methodology fosters a culture that puts everyone on the sales team. Our ideal engagement is one that touches everyone that supports the sales process."

OCTOBER 2004

ProDirect establishes New Headquarters
Lawrenceville, NJ – Friday October 1, 2004

ProDirect LLC, a leading provider of Sales Talent Management solutions, has moved its headquarters to Lawrenceville, NJ. The sales training and coaching provider chose the relocation for many reasons. “Operating in the Princeton corridor gives us access to some of the most reputable companies in the world as well as access to all forms of transportation” said Bill Walton, ProDirect’s President and founder. “In two hours we can get to two thirds of our client base with easy access to Newark and Philadelphia airports for our west coast and international assignments.” While most of the firm’s work is project-based sales training and strategy work, its executive coaching practice is helped by the move given its proximity to ProDirect's talented coach pool. “The community here has welcomed us with open arms” added Walton.
