ProForce was founded in 2005. Bruce and Blair Whitehead launched a business to solve the biggest issue facing corporate Australia; finding and retaining top performing sales professionals. They began assessing university graduates through a unique assessment model to see whether they had the aptitude to make exceptional sales professionals. Only 2% of graduates passed this process and once placed into a company they began to train them in Master Class Sales Techniques built and delivered by John Bryan who had spent his formative years running sales at IBM.
The rest as they say is history; 100,000 graduates career coached, 48,000 trained in soft skills and 15,000 placed in 2,400 clients across 8 vertical markets.
20 years later the model has proven to be one of Australia’s biggest success stories with the graduates being so successful that they have become the CEO’s of today and take graduates into their own teams through ProForce; literally ‘sending the elevator back down’.
The ProForce Alumni is now established as the largest and most powerful business sales and leadership network in Australia and is still run by one of its founders.
Founder Blair Whitehead shares why the ProGradian was created, the problem it set out to solve, and how it’s built the next generation of CEO’s.
CEO Blair Whitehead explains how ProForce has become the largest sales network in Australian history and what its limitless possibilities are for Alumni and companies.
