Here's the info I promised on the April 7-8, 2011 Contract Training ONLY conference:
Whether you call it contract, customized: corporate training/education, or even solutions selling – serving business and industry with customized educational products and services is a mainstay of most continuing education programs. Contract training is the most profitable and most cutting-edge continuing education program unit. A successful contract training unit generates visibility, new teaching and learning techniques, partnerships, new programming, and much more.
Running a successful contract training unit can be challenging, especially during tough economic times. Businesses, government agencies, and local organizations have downsized and training dollars have been cut. Clients are more demanding than ever and are requiring a strong return on investment. Staff efficiency is mission critical since most contract training units are either a part of a continuing education unit, or have less than 5 staff members.
Efficiencies are critical to ensure high staff productivity. Contract training has shifted from an emphasis on training to a more broad emphasis on providing solutions, and solution selling requires a new skill set. The Contract Training Conference has been designed to give you the skill set necessary to increase sales, improve productivity, and ensure financial self-sufficiency.
