Vmax Performance Group is committed to providing the training and development necessary to produce high-performance managers and top-producing salespeople.  Salespeople, supervisors, and managers dramatically impact the productivity and profitability of your organization, but are often inadequately trained in critical leadership and customer development skills.  In fact, many companies are often too busy "doing business" to spend the needed time to develop a comprehensive strategy for developing key people within the organization.

In physics, Vmax is shorthand for "maximum velocity", and the calculation used to calculate maximum velocity is:

Vmax = Vo + a ∆t

According to this formula, maximum velocity for any object is determined by adding the initial velocity (Vo) to the value of acceleration over time (delta t). If the object is not accelerating (a=0), then the maximum velocity is simply equal to the object’s initial velocity. The only way to improve maximum velocity is to provide acceleration!

Applied to your business organization, we could say that employees who are not learning, growing, and developing - accelerating their skill sets and core competencies - are simply standing still, and the organization is failing to reach its maximum velocity.

Organizations invest heavily in tangible resources - facilities, raw materials, marketing and advertising, etc. - in order to grow and capture market share, but a single underperforming employee can dramatically limit productivity and the ROI on those assets. The primary benefits of focused employee training include increased productivity, improved quality and safety, and higher employee retention. For example, in a four-year study by the American Society for Training and Development, firms that invested $1500 annually per employee in training - compared to those that spent only $125 annually - had 24% higher gross margins and 218% higher income per employee.

Ask yourself - are your employees accelerating their performance? Is your organization reaching it's maximum velocity?
