Press Release Summary: New Hiring Tool reduces hiring costs by dramatically
improving the Sales Rep hiring process

Press Release Body: Toronto, May 26, 2008 - Finally a competency-based Hiring Tool
that was specifically developed for companies desiring greater effectiveness in
hiring quality Sales Reps.

The Ashlar Sales Simulator is a Sales Skills assessment methodology that
significantly reduces hiring mistakes by making the hiring process more effective.
In fact, since this tool allows a Sales Rep candidate to clearly demonstrate their
Sales competencies, any company can take advantage of its benefits:

. Works with any current Hiring process
. Increases revenues by lowering turnover and skill gap identification
. Reduces Hiring costs through lower Recruiting, Training and Personnel costs
. Improves the Hiring skills of all hiring Managers
. Brings a disciplined and standardized Hiring process

"With many of our customers experiencing difficulties in hiring and retaining
quality Sales Reps, it made sense for them to add a comprehensive tool to their
Hiring process," said Paul MacLean, President of Ashlar Performance Group. "The
Ashlar Sales Simulator enables them to map the competencies and Selling skills of
each candidate in a performance-based methodology, also allowing the hiring Manager
to identify skill gaps, and thus coach and train the new hire to be more effective
in a quicker time frame."

providing Outsourced Sales Forces, Staffing, Hiring Effectiveness and Revenue
Improvement Programs. The Ashlar Sales Simulator is just one of a complete suite of
