Does your company have a formal training department or is it relegated to HR or an additional responsibility of one of your managers? Who wrote the training manual, who holds the seminars or orientation programs, when was the last time these programs were revised, and when was the last time anyone read or reviewed the material. No doubt many of you have it together when it comes to training, but there are even more of you who don’t. On the serious side, what legal issues are you faced with? Laws seem to change everyday, hiring practices, OSHA, EPA, Insurance regulations, tax laws, EEOC issues, do’s and don’ts of interviewing, licensing laws, and others. This is all part of HR and training. Who trains the trainer? The point I am making is there needs to be a formal ongoing process in place to constantly review, edit, correct, update, and revise all aspects of training, particularly the written components. There also needs to be a disciplined program for skills training in all positions, particularly sales training because without sales nothing happens. An effective training program can attract a better candidate for the positions you have available, can and does reduce turnover, creates a pool of motivated, promotable individuals, and if nothing else provides an excellent forum for communication with your staff. Training provides a two way interaction where new ideas are fostered and ties all levels of management with the staff. It also can provide a venue where different department members can interact and learn about the challenges faced by other employees. Don’t do too little, too late. Make someone accountable, and have everyone contribute. With today’s technology you can develop CD’s, DVD’s, or webinars to maximize the efficiency of training. Anyone with a laptop can produce one. Think outside the box and recommit to training NOW!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
