Casual Articles - Why Your Employees Fear Training And How To Get Them To Stop
I'm sure you've noticed that selling to women is very different than selling to men... And it's true! Everyone knows that women are the tougher sex to sell to. Men are go-get-em decision makers and women take more time to browse before they decide. Case in point: I have a friend who visited 39 houses before she bought... her male counterpart only visited 4 of those before he was decided. Guess what? The house they bought was the 38th!Research has shown that when you meet the expectations of women, you
All professional speakers who "wow" their audiences have one thing in common: P-A-S-S-I-O-N!A public speaker can have the best information, the best voice, and the best Powerpoint presentation on the planet, but without passion, the speech will fall flat every time.Every speaker is a motivational speaker. It doesn't matter if you're talking about finance or personal growth - you need to ignite your audience and get them excited about your subject. And the only way your audience will become excited is
The 4 MOST IMPORTANT Factors in a Successful Training Experience
1. You must enable trainee buy-in.
Psychiatrists have been telling us for years (er…or they’ve been telling a good friend of ours…yeah…a friend…) that a patient has to want help before help can be provided. Fair enough. The same axiom holds true in the training world. You must provide your trainees with the right training framework. And what is the right training framework? Easy: they must want to be trained.
If it’s going to help them increase sales, convince them of how wonderful this will be. If it’s going to increase their capacity to earn more commission, tell them. Work with your outsourced trainer before the actual training event and promote these benefits.
On my way to the locker room at the fitness club, I passed by a gentleman who was looking dressed for work, standing behind a table. The table had a banner draped down from it that said something like "XYZ Financial." On the table he had a bowl of bananas and several bottles of water. As people walked by, he would ask, "Would you like a free bottle of water?"Gosh, I hope you pictured yourself walking past that table and seeing some guy in a suit at the fitness club asking you that. What would you say? Let m

This afternoon I realized the inevitable: lemonade stands just aren’t effective anymore. Now, I understand that “anymore” is a confusing term. I could be noting that lemonade stands were effective up until this morning, or I could be noting that they haven’t been effective since the invention of refrigeration. But none of that matters. All I know is that I have no plans in the near future to buy lemonade from a stand, especially while sitting. And it is primarily because the kids who run lemonade stands mainta

Have you noticed how old your boss is?How about your boss’ boss?Do you think they’re going anywhere or are they in it for the long haul?According to a 2005 survey, the number of baby boomers is 78.2 million. With all the fear that existed in American business circles about the potential loss of labor and their intellectual capital, we now have a new problem and, if you are in your 30’s, you may be acutely aware of it.The number of workers in their 30’s is only 40 million,This mean

By the time you decide, you're already full! How does this analogy apply to your business? Read on.There's nothing worse than opening an envelope and finding 4 to 6 other little offers falling to the floor. How amateurish.This really annoys your customers. Your mails goes straight to the trash.Your customer needs to study ONE offer in detail to make sure it's right for him/her.There are some organisations that offer a smorgasbord of service offerings: Silver, Gold, Platinum, etc, etc. Yes,there
Remember, please: negative expectations from trainees will pollute even the most well designed training, just as the world’s best psychiatrist can’t help our… friend…overcome his fear of circus clowns.
2. You must know what the problem is, and what the solution will be.
This one sounds too simple to be true. But you’d be amazed to see how often this factor is overlooked. Do you know what needs to be fixed? Is it deal-closing, or relationship building? Do you want to improve ROI? Motivate? Cut down on process redundancy? Align communication from different units, functions; heck, even cubicles and floors? If you don’t know what’s wrong, you won’t know how to solve it.
Or worse (and yes, there is a worse here), you might actually create problems by trying to solve the wrong thing. Scary, yes, but it happens. If you’re trying to solve a team-building problem by promoting individual accomplishment in your training, then you’re actually making things worse. And on top of that: you’re paying for it! AHHHH
