• participant and manager estimation of
impact – ONLY AS GOOD AS THE EMPLOYEES ABILITY TO
PROVIDE INFORMATION.
• senior management estimation – BIAS AND
SIMPLE HUMAN ERROR.
• success case method – WHAT DID THIS PESON
LEARN THAT WAS NEW? HOW DID THIS PERSON USE THE LEARNING
ON THE JOB? DID THE USAGE HELP PRODUCE A WORTHWHILE
OUTCOME?

15. SUCCESS CASE METHOD:
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Telling Training’s Story by Robert O. Brinkerhoff

2. How, if at all, did this person use the new learning in
some sort of job-specific behavior?
3. Did the usage of the learning help to produce any
sort of worthwhile outcome?

worthwhile results yet.

use it yet.
• I already knew about and was doing the things this training taught.

REPORT: VALUE OF TRAINING ON INTERVIEWING SKILLS FOR SALES
MANAGERS
Goal: Reduce time to fill open positions from over 70 days to
less than 55.
Value:
The expected value to
be gained is measured
by using the average
revenue generated by
new sales reps in their
first 90 days of work on a
per day basis, and the
added value realized in
the first 6 months of
employment for each
day we can get them
onboard and trained
more quickly.
$435/day $32,000
In six months
The average
rep closes two
more deals at
an average
value of $16,000
each when
they started in
60 days after
position
opened.
First 90
days.

24. BIZLIBRARY.COM
Training Costs:
Human Resources:
$45,000
Sales: $15,000
Total: $60,000
Impact:
Seven reps were hired
with an average
reduction of 10 days
saved per rep in the six
month time frame of the
study.
Value Added From Improved Performance:
7 reps X 10 days each = 70 days. 70 days
saved were worth $30,450. 4 of 7 reps
started in 60 days or less after open position.
$128,000 added in new sales.
TOTAL VALUE GAINED:
$158,450 on a $60,000 program.
Other Factors:
Better communication and cooperation between sales managers and
HR recruiters meant the candidates being interviewed fit a success
profile for sales reps more clearly than before the program started. We
also learned that social media sourced candidates tended to be more
successful in the first six months than blind applicants.
