Why Take The Course

Scaling up your business is hard — and even more frustrating if you don't have a reliable team. However, not that many companies know the golden formula to successful hiring.

The fact is: your organization is only as strong as its people. Mis-hires cost you millions (that’s not an exaggeration) in dollars and wasted hours. If you want to start scaling up rapidly and without drama, you need every person on your team to be a High Performer — not only your leadership and management.

As a result of collaboration between Dr. Brad Smart and Growth Institute, you can now access the Topgrading methodology — regarded as the most effective hiring method on the planet — in the form of an interactive Master Business Course.

This Togpgrading Master Business Course is specially designed to help you make all the right decisions in your search for the best people at key roles in your organization.

What are leaders saying about Topgrading?

“Nothing matters more in winning than getting the right people on the field. All the clever strategies and advanced technologies in the world are nowhere near as effective without great people to put them to work. Brad developed the methods to help us pick top producers.”

“It's all about implementation. There's the Topgrading book and other stuff out there. It's a really intense process and a thick book, but having the coaches to help you implement is really valuable. We've actually felt the whole environment and culture in our company starting to shift as we bring in people who are thinking the same as us.”
