Solution:

A well-known food retailer established a Hogan profile to hire sales representatives nearly three years ago. In 2012, the retailer investigated the extent to which the profile predicted sales performance using a sample of 115 sales representatives.

Results:

Results revealed that high fit sales representatives grew their weekly sales at a greater rate compared to low fit sales representatives. After one year, high fits’ sales growth was 6.5 times that of the low fits’ sales growth.
