Growing The Predictive Index

In 1942, twenty-six-year-old Arnold Daniels volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Corps. Shipped off to England, he was placed as a flight navigator and his team soon logged more than 30 missions—all without a single combat casualty.

When commanders noted the team’s record, they sent a psychologist in to work with Daniels—to study just what made their teamwork so successful.

This was Daniels’ first introduction to psychometric testing, and what would become a lifetime passion: solving business problems through the lens of understanding individuals.

After the war, he returned to Boston, where he briefly attended Harvard to study workplace psychology. In 1952 he released the first Predictive Index Assessment.

In 1955, Daniels founded PI Worldwide (now called The Predictive Index).

The Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment™ was created through a normative sample of thousands of people and has since been the subject of nearly 500 validation studies. It has received continual updates and today represents a well-established, business-relevant, and scientifically-proven measure of behavioral tendencies in the workplace.

Over six decades since, thousands of organizations have used The Predictive Index in nearly every job and industry around the world.

The Predictive Index helps businesses and organizations all over the globe overcome workplace challenges through a unique blend of scientific behavioral assessments, groundbreaking software, exceptional management training, and professional consulting from the world’s top workplace behavior specialists.

In short, The Predictive Index helps companies understand how their people think and work to help employees maximize their productivity.

The Predictive Index helps more than 8,000 clients across 142 countries; I’ve used it many times in different countries myself, so I was delighted to be joined on the podcast by the CEO of Predictive Index, Mike Zani.

Scott Miller – FranklinCovey

Years ago, I was a fresh-faced young HR graduate in an international, very rules-based company when my first mentor gave me a copy of a book called ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People‘ written by Stephen Covey.

Growing the FranklinCovey Company

The book had a profound effect on my thinking and on my subsequent career in Human Resources.

It seems, I wasn’t the only one.

The book has sold more than 40 million copies in 40 languages worldwide and remains one of the best-selling nonfiction business books in history.

Now listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the FranklinCovey company is considered by many as the world leader in helping organizations achieve results that require lasting changes in human behavior.

I was delighted to be joined on the podcast by the company’s Executive Vice President of Thought Leadership, Scott Miller.

HR Business Growth Advice From B2B Sales Legend – Aaron Ross

I recently chatted with the hugely influential business leader, Aaron Ross, before his headline speech at the SaaStock tech conference.

Aaron Ross on how to grow an HR business

Aaron is a global keynote speaker and the #1 best-selling author of the classic B2B sales and growth book:

Predictable Revenue: Turn Your Business Into A Sales Machine With The $100 Million Best Practices Of Salesforce.com”‘

Aaron has since gone on to write another best-seller called ‘From Impossible To Inevitable‘ which he wrote with the also legendary SaaS growth expert, Jason Lemkin.

From Impossible To Inevitable

From Impossible to Inevitable details the hypergrowth playbook of companies like Hubspot, Salesforce.com (the fastest growing multibillion-dollar software company), and EchoSign—aka Adobe Document Services (which catapulted from $0 to $144 million in seven years).

Regardless of the size of your business, you can use the same insights as these notable companies to learn what it really takes to break your own revenue records.

I’ve read the book and loved it. It will help you:

  • Pinpoint why you aren’t growing faster
  • Understand what it takes to get to hypergrowth
  • Nail a niche (the #1 missing growth ingredient)
  • What every revenue leader needs to know about building a scalable sales team

Discussion Notes

During our conversation in Dublin, we talked discussed:

✔️ 02:25 – The idea behind the best-selling book, Predictable Revenue.

✔️ 04:58 – When happened after Salesforce.

✔️ 06:17 – Advice for people wanting to take the plunge and start their own HR business.

✔️ 07:47 – How to nail your business niche.

✔️ 10:32 – Will you miss out on customers and clients if you focus in on a particular niche?

✔️ 13:40 – How to get the right balance between inbound and outbound marketing?

✔️ 15:29 – Jason Lemkin (Aaron’s also super successful co-author of the new B2B growth book).

✔️ 16:42 – Should you [the listener] write a book?

✔️ 25:11 – How to learn more about Aaron and his company.


Outside of writing best-selling books and giving headline speeches at conferences around the world, Aaron is Co-CEO of PredictableRevenue.com, which helps companies grow faster with outbound selling systems.

Aaron’s also a happily married family man with a tribe of children, who, if they’re anything like my kids, leave a joyful trail of toys and playful destruction wherever they go.
