UR Learning Center
One thing that small to mid-size companies can learn from Fortune 500 - many of them have moved from having their own training department to "Learning Centers." The new focus is on having a skillful workforce that is committed to continuous learning versus attending a 1-day training session. The end result is having an agile, experienced and skillful workforce that is able to handle any situation. This function is managed by a new position, the CLO (Chief Learning Officer) who reports to CEO directly.
For small to medium-size companies, training employees is normally handled by HR (which is busy handling their own HR issues), or by the manager directly, which means that there is no cohesive training strategy, resulting in questionable performance improvements and higher cost.
By using a shared resource model GPS4SALES is now making "UR Learning Center" concept available to small to mid-size companies at a fraction of the cost.
Situation: Sales Management wants to send 2 salespeople for sales training -
1. Since the Sales Management may send 2 salespeople for training per year - quite often he/she does not spend the time researching what is the best, the latest, more relevant, and most cost effective. GPS4SALES - With our database of training providers and their performances, we have the answer.
2. Best Trainer? This question is very rarely asked and yet we know that having the best trainer can make all the difference in learning environments. With GPS4SALES database, we know which trainers are the best, average or trainers to avoid, resulting in maximizing your training investment.
3. Lower Price? Manager sending 2 salespeople rarely gets a lower price. Let's assume we have 100 companies participating in the "UR Learning Center" concept and each wants to send 2 salespeople for training every year. At 200 potential enrollments we will be able to negotiate a much lower price and insure that you get the best trainer.
