What goes around comes around. According to marketing expert Phillip Lay, the most successful business developers in today’s economy are smart, self-starting, non-conformist thinkers who are determined to go through walls to achieve their mission.
Sound familiar? Companies are rediscovering what sales legend Tom Hopkins said about selling nearly twenty years ago: Due to the nature of selling, you’re in business for yourself. Deal with it. You are a company.
Given today’s dynamic business environment, it has never been more important for companies to hire entrepreneurial people who can proactively operate within the context of the firm’s mission and values to anticipate customer needs. To that end, the Business Career Interest Inventory allows respondents to assess their interests and learn how they compare to established entrepreneurs. The test takes 30 minutes to complete, will score automatically, and provides interpretive materials on-line. Incredible.
Action item: For companies who prize a high level of entrepreneurship in their employees, this free resource is a MUST bookmark. HR instruments like this usually cost hundreds of dollars to administer professionally. Of course, if you don’t have the time to wade through this test, you can always take the one offered by Zero Stage Venture Capital.
Either way, make a friend: Send this resource to your HR director so that job applicants can take the BCI Inventory and print the results for their interview file.
