ValueScan Assessments

Want a clear, insightful and completely customized assessment of your strengths and blind spots as a business person? Two new assessment tools, The ValueScan Sales Profile and the ValueScan Business Profile, give you a head start on your competition by helping you recognize how your personality is helping (and hindering) your business. You can then build on your strengths and improve your growth areas.

Every ValueScan begins with a short questionnaire that is scored according to a proprietary methodology based on the work of Dr. Robert S. Hartman, a Nobel Prize nominee. The short questionnaire takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You'll receive a printed report based on the results. Email that report to me and we'll have an expert interpret your results and relay the details via a customized recorded audio.

I was blown away when I took the ValueScan assessment. The questions are deceptively simple, but the analysis is amazingly insightful. I learned a lot, and that convinced me to share this remarkable tool with you.

Each ValueScan is only $200--that includes the extensive written assessment and the customized audio debriefing.
