"Decision Point is worth every penny. Their training, executive coaching and assessments have made a huge difference at Yarde. They have helped me and all of our managers lead, rather than manage. I recommend them highly!"
Craig Yarde, Sr. CEO Yarde Metals
"Decision Point first assessed the skill gaps of our managers - then they designed and delivered a management training program that really hit the mark!"
Tony Zajkowski Training Manager Senior Vice President Corporate Education & Training TD BankNorth Mid-Atlantic Region
“Our competitive advantage is Decision Point! Thanks to them, we have been able to: increase productivity 180%, reduce turnover 89%, decrease absenteeism 50% and decrease the accident rate 76%. Millions of dollars went directly to our bottom line!"
David Cline Vice President Regional Operations & Strategic Quality Management Harland – Printed Products Division “I have learned over the years that training should be considered an investment and not an expense. I also discovered that many of the professional training programs offered out there are nothing more than an expense offering nothing in return. Your customized training programs were the only ones I have seen that could open the door to new opportunities with long term benefits. You have wiped the Vasoline from my glasses and turned all of my knowledge into action. Unlike a consulting firm that comes in, tells you what to do, and then leaves, you collect the data, advise us, and then work with us to bring us where we need to be. My vision is now clearer. Your assessments and training have made a major impact on my ability to lead my organization. I almost feel guilty that I now only need to work half as hard as I used to and I can get twice the results.”
Rick Puglielli President Promold Plastics
"When we first started using Decision Point assessments, I didn't always listen to the information the way that I should. I got burned every time!
Now, I use Decision Point assessments to hire some of the best sales people and managers in the country. More importantly, I have avoided hiring some good people who would have been bad hires! Thanks for giving me the tools I need to make our team one of the most successful in the company."
Max Andrews District Manager Yellowbook USA “At Aegis Lending, it’s really, really important for us to have the right tools for our group and the Profile XT fit us perfectly. As often happens when new ideas are introduced in a company, some Managers resisted the use of assessments. After allowing managers the option of using or not using the Profile XT initially, we saw a marked difference in results. It was obvious that using assessments led to hiring better people. We observed that people who did not fit our customized Profiles hiring pattern were not able to keep up with the demands of their positions. As employees who fit the pattern were hired in greater numbers, productivity improved spectacularly. We rebounded from a $2.5 million loss in 2000 and posted profits of $9.3 million in 2001, $23 million in 2002, and $42 million in 2003. Now, Managers are told to assess every job candidate – no exceptions. You have a great product! It makes a difference. It really, really makes a difference.” John D’Angelo President Aegis Lending “These two tools (The Profile XT and the CheckPoint 360° Competency Feedback System) are quite powerful and they are providing us with incredible data to develop and grow our management team. I am proud that our managers feel very fortunate that we have in our possession assessments that help them become better managers.” Marvin Hershenson Director of Human Resources and Executive Development Simon Properties Group |

"What impressed me most about the results of the surveys was the fact that in every case, people come out where I expected them to. It proved to be reliable and foolproof. I found it particularly interesting that the lower performers on my team were also the lower scorers on the assessment."

"Two years ago I started using these two tests in my hiring process, at that time our turnover was 14%. Our turnover rate now is 2.23%. This has been an unprecedented change for our division."

"Prior to using your instruments, our rate of retention was 3 out of 10 technicians. It is now 7 out of 10 technicians. This resulted in an additional 5 percentage points of gross profit, which for my department is well over $100,000 a year!"
