Retool Training

Retool Ineffective Training and Communication

It’s frustrating having to answer questions that were covered in a meeting. “Weren’t they listening?” you think to yourself.  Or as problems continue unabated you ask your staff in frustration “Didn’t we JUST train everybody on this?” They nod their heads and roll their eyes. ‘Stupid people.’ is the thought on everyone’s mind.

Not stupid people. Stupid training.

Research shows that people forget 85% of material presented in typical classroom training after only three weeks. We know in our hearts that classroom training isn’t effective, yet month after month, year after year, we put people through it.

What matters more? How much you teach? Or how much they retain? There are better methods, ones that demonstrate sustained performance improvements quickly and conveniently.

We help you retool our training for much greater productivity and results. Our new methods and technologies align with how sales people naturally like to communicate and learn:
  • Peer Mentoring — A tools-based approach to one-on-one knowledge transfer, giving your seasoned employees a straightforward way to share what they know and deliver effective on-the-job training.*
  • Social Networking Technologies — Customized versions of familiar social networking technologies (similar to Facebook, Ning, blogging and Twitter) create powerful ways for your employees to share expertise and information, especially for Gen Ys and Millennials.
  • E-Learning and Wiki-type programs — These new technologies allow new employees to pull the information they need, rather than making them try to integrate what you push into them before it's truly relevant.
  • Handbooks, Workbooks and Job Aids — These entertaining and instructive printed materials encourage new employees and interns to learn what they need to know and give them a clear set of activities and exercises to complete.

              

Whether you're ready to ride or not sure if these new approaches will work for you, we'd like to hear what's on your mind. Email us or call Todd Hudson at 303.819.6662.
