Our people management system is backed by decades of research, trusted by leaders across industries, and is simple to learn and apply.
We make onboarding easy by giving new representatives everything they need to get started: training, technology, marketing materials, and guidance from experienced mentors who care about their growth.
PDP Global offers a partnership where your expertise and passion meet a proven system that truly makes a difference. With the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can help organizations unlock potential and enjoy a career that’s both flexible and fulfilling.
The First 30 Days: Building Your Foundation
Certification & Training
Your first month as a PDP Representative begins with an engaging PDP learning experience. The Certified PDP Representative Course is a two-day, on-site, interactive training that walks you through the entire PDP Management System. You’ll learn how to use and apply PDP’s tools, including ProScan, JobScan, TeamScan, and PowerApp workshops.
As you explore how the behavioral assessment tool works, you’ll see how it helps people understand themselves and each other on a deeper level. Many new representatives describe having “aha” moments during this stage when they realize how much insight these instruments and resources bring to real workplace challenges.
Setting Up Your Business
Before you even begin operations, PDP experts provide start-up help to walk you through every step of launching your business. Our IT team will help you select the right hardware so you have everything in place to run efficiently from the very beginning.
You’ll also gain access to our proprietary web application that makes it easy to manage clients and run assessments. The PDPworks platform allows you to set up new clients, access reports, and deliver exceptional service without the need for complicated systems.
Along with the technology setup, you’ll receive branded marketing collateral, presentation decks, and sales resources to help you introduce PDP’s services to potential clients with confidence. Having these materials in place means you can focus on helping organizations bring out the best in their people instead of investing in marketing.
Finding Your First Clients (You Have Them Already!)
There’s even better news when you choose to partner with PDP Global: no cold calls are required! Your first clients often come from connections you already have. Think about organizations that care deeply about their people and want to enhance how they hire, communicate, or collaborate. The most common metrics that PDP improves are retention, turnover, satisfaction, company culture, and performance.
With PDP’s behavioral assessment instruments, leaders gain a clear picture of how their teams operate. They can identify strengths, understand differences, and take practical steps to improve morale and performance. Some impactful ways for you to help apply PDP Global are:
- Pinpointing how a manager can communicate more effectively
- Identifying and preventing burnout across the workforce
- Inspiring higher performance from a struggling department
- Attracting and hiring the best talent for your ideal culture
- Employee development for succession planning
The first month is all about learning and building confidence. As you begin working with clients, you’ll see how naturally PDP’s tools fit into the world of business and how powerful they are in helping people succeed.
Days 31–60: Gaining Momentum
Delivering Your First PDP Workshops
By your second month as a PDP Representative Partner, your training and preparation start to pay off. This is when you begin leading your first PDP PowerApp workshops and helping real client teams experience the power of understanding their own behavior. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of the journey because you get to see the behavioral assessment tool come to life.
You’ll guide teams through their PDP results and show them how to turn behavioral insights into action. Leaders quickly see how small changes in communication can create stronger, more productive teams. The ProScan Survey only takes a few minutes to complete, but the results open up meaningful discussions about energy, motivation, and more. If you haven’t already completed the free ProScan Survey for business consulting agents, request yours here!
For the TeamScan workshop specifically, the refreshed experience makes facilitation more effortless and engaging than ever. Dynamic visuals and clear data help you lead confident sessions that your client teams will love.
Growing Your Pipeline
One of the greatest advantages of being a PDP Representative is the stability that comes from long-term client relationships. PDP has a 90% customer renewal rate, which means the majority of organizations you work with continue using and expanding their PDP systems year after year. Such a high retention rate creates annual recurring revenue (ARR) and a strong foundation for your business.
PDP’s profit margins are highly competitive, with you holding onto 70% or 50% of new account sales depending on your initial investment tier. Any consulting services you provide to your clients is 100% yours, 100% of the time. And, with additional earning potential through mentoring Licensed Associates (LAs), you’ll find that every new client relationship can grow into something lasting and profitable.
The Big Picture: Life Beyond 60 Days
As your clients begin to see measurable results, your confidence and credibility grow too. You’ll watch teams communicate more effectively, leaders make smarter hiring decisions, and entire organizations experience higher morale and lower turnover. Every success story reinforces why the behavioral assessment system you represent is such a valuable part of meaningful change.
PDP Global provides ongoing opportunities for growth, from annual conferences that bring reps together for learning and collaboration, to new PowerApp workshops that speak to client trends and pain points. You’ll also be part of a supportive community of fellow representatives who share ideas and inspire each other to keep growing.
