Recruitment Benchmarking

Duplicating successes for a leading insurance group

What

To increase the success rate for future sales recruitment, an internal benchmark of top and bottom performers needed to be established.

How

  • 1,500 insurance agents with 3 years of recent performance records were involved.
  • Top and bottom performing agents were profiled using a behavioral tool to identify success factors on which ideal profiles were recommended.
  • An internal empirical study over 3 consecutive years confirmed a significant increase in sales achievements, reduction in learning cycle, and reduction in drop-out rates among agents recruited based on the recommended profiles.
