Extreme Productivity

Discover what The Extremely Productive do to drive productivity, top performance, job satisfaction, and happiness.

In the past several years we’ve been obsessed not just with how sellers should sell but with helping them execute. We’ve been working with our clients around the globe to implement a variety of strategies to drive motivation and execution, and help teams perform at the highest levels through The Productivity Code.

For our Extreme Productivity research, we studied 2,377 business professionals to find out which work habits and hacks, when applied in what combination drive not only productivity, but top performance versus peers, job satisfaction, and happiness. Through this global study of sellers and non-sellers alike, we have both validated and honed the Productivity Code Model and Productivity Assessment tool.

And we learned some surprising differences between how The Extremely Productive work compared to The Rest.
