Corporate trainers or managers & independent trainers, consultants or coaches who are not candidates for a Private Label Site (because of the one-time up-front programming and yearly license fees or because of assessment usage of less than 250 per year) are ideal candidates for an Administrator (Admin) Account at any one or all of the ABC assessment sites. For corporate trainers or managers, your end users would be employees, managers, vendors, distributors or customers. For independent trainers, consultants or coaches, your end users would be your individual clients or client companies.

In the Admin Account scenario, there are no up-front costs or yearly license fees. You purchase assessments in quantity, at a discount, as needed. You sell and manage you Admin Account within the individual ABC assessment sites (see ABC assessment catalog) with a single login to manage one or more of our ABC assessments.

As an Admin Account Client of the Assessment Business Center (ABC), you have access to valuable tools that will supplement training, continuing education, coaching, consulting, diversity training, personal growth needs. You have access to assessments that will enable you to enhance your relationships with and increase the productivity of your co-workers, end users and clients. After purchasing a bulk quantity of an assessment from ABC, you are then able to distribute the assessments to your end users for in-house use.

The Admin Account program is ideal for business owners, human resource professionals, in-house trainers and divisional managers in the Admin Account sector. Through the range of assessments available, your end users will be able to find out what they think of themselves, what others think of them, and where they stand in relation to others within your organization or industry. Your end users will receive personalized self-assessments that provide suggestions for improving their personal and professional interactions.

About the Admin Account Program

As an Admin Account Client, you pre-purchase the assessment(s) from our extensive catalog at a substantial discount.

Your end users will then have access to those assessments on the Internet via email invitations you send them through your Admin Account. After taking assessments, your end users and coworkers will see their self-assessment reports and be able invite others to complete an “observer” assessment on them.

Here's a brief description of how the Admin Account program operates:

• You pre-purchase in bulk the assessment (s) you wish to administer to your end users at a substantial volume discount.
  
• You send emails to end users directly through your Admin Account, which authorize the end users to take the assessment.
  
• The end users click on a link in the email that takes them to the assessment page where they fill out a brief registration form and complete the assessment.
  
• You, as the Administrator, control the viewing access of the assessment reports and eGraphs. If you plan on discussing the end user results and eGraphs during a seminar or consulting session, you're able to block access to those features until after your seminar or consulting session. Conversely, you can elect to have your end users view their reports immediately after completing the assessments. The choice is yours.
  
• The end users who complete the assessments will automatically get web-based access allowing them to access to their self-assessment and observer reports as well as personal and professional improvement suggestions.

The Three Key Players in the Admin Account Process

Administrator - Admin Account and Associate Clients will have an Administrator assigned to their ABC account. The Administrator is the person who distributes the assessments through email assessment invitations. The Administrator delivers the assessments to end users of a staff unit, family unit, board of directors, organization, coworkers, etc.

End User - The End User is an individual who is invited and authorized to take assessments via email invitations from the Administrator. In the case of an individual purchase, the Individual is considered the End User and receives the same benefits and abilities as Admin Account End Users.

Observer - The Observer is an individual who is invited by an End User to complete an online Observer assessment about the End User. This option is only valid for our 360º assessments. Some of our online assessments are self-scored only and do not involve observers.

The Observer is a key feature to the ABC programs. By inviting Observers to complete assessments about them, End Users are able to acquire a 360º view of themselves. The self-assessment report is accurate, but it only provides End Users with their own point of view of themselves. Quite often, what the assessment is measuring is more easily observed by others. Though an End User may know what his or her own thoughts and motives are, the Observer may be more accurate in describing the End User's actual behavior and personality.

Typically, within a 30-day period, End Users can invite an unlimited number of Observers to complete observer assessments. All the End User has to do is provide the Observer's name and email address and the observer invitation is sent automatically. Observers then receive an email from the End User requesting them to complete an assessment on the End User's behalf.

Key Components in the Admin Account Process

The Assessment - The assessments are online questionnaires that vary in length and subject. The questions that make up the assessments are completed by End Users, who receive access to the assessments from the Administrator.

The Self-Assessment Report - End Users receive a comprehensive and personalized self-assessment report after completing an online assessment. The report is a vital tool for improving various aspects of the End User's behaviors. It provides a description of current behaviors as well as strategies for improving effectiveness in business and/or personal situations.

eGraph - In addition to the self-assessment report, each End User will also be able to view his or her eGraph/bar chart results. For 360º assessments, as soon as an Observer completes an assessment on an End User, the result is depicted in the eGraph or bar chart graphs.

Two Key Sites in the Admin Account Process

Administrator (Admin Account) Home Page - The Administrator Home Page provides flexibility for training options and important data to track End User progress. It is a personalized, private page that allows the Administrator to:

• Pre-purchase assessments at a volume discount.
  
• Distribute assessments to end users by simply entering each individual's name and email address. An automatic email is sent which authorizes the End User to take an assessment. To distribute assessments to larger groups, end users can be entered into the Admin Account via an Excel list or the Administrator can email a special “assessment invitation link” to end users.
  
• Track their account status to see how many assessments have been used, how many are left, and order more assessments as needed automatically online via a credit card with no human intervention needed.
  
• View the eGraphs/bar charts and reports of the End Users you authorized to take the assessment. This feature also allows you to see which end users have completed their assessments and send automated reminders to those who have not.
  
• Permit or block end users from seeing their personalized self-assessment and eGraph/bar charts. Why block? If you want to present the end users with their reports at the time of the training session, consultation, coaching session, etc.
  
• Print the collective results of a group of end users for team building and group coaching. This feature is extremely useful when you're working with a group and want to see at a glance how everyone scores in relation to each other.

End User Home Page - The End User Home Page is a personalized and private home page for each end user mostly used in the 360º assessment process. It is generally not used for self-assessments only as the end user report is emailed directly to the end user with a copy placed in the Admin Account home page. The End User Home Page allows the end user to:

• Invite Observers to complete the online Observer Assessment on the end user.
  
• View the Observers invited. The End User can view - at a glance - all the Observers he or she has invited and see who has completed the Observer Assessment and who has not. For those Observers who have not yet completed the observer assessment, the End User can send automatic reminder emails requesting the Observer's attention.
  
• View and print their comprehensive, personalized assessment report. (If the access has not been blocked by the Administrator.)
  
• View and print the personalized eGraph/bar charts. (If the access has not been blocked by the Administrator.)
