Service: How-To Market Training Programs: A Hands-On Tune-Up for Corporate Training Groups

"If your excellent Training efforts fizzle, and your internal clients go elsewhere for expert help, your marketing plans may not be as effective as they could be. It's time for a marketing tune-up."

- Lynda Curtin, The Opportunity Thinker

Most businesses fail within the first five years. Lack of marketing savvy is a major reason this occurs. The same thing happens inside organizations. Excellent training and OD/OE efforts fizzle because marketing savvy is not part of the skill set of the practitioners involved. Unfortunately many professionals in this field have a tough time relating to internal business clients because they don't have business experience. 

Your internal clients are overloaded and are working at a very fast pace. Capturing their attention is very tough, never mind helping them understand how you can help them meet their business goals. If you really want to attract and retain more internal clients and add value to the organization you will want to schedule one of Lynda's marketing tune-ups designed for training departments.

Why Work with Lynda Curtin?

Lynda was recruited to join a National Training Department because of her savvy business skills with the mandate to develop business skills training for Buyers, Product Managers, Marketing Managers, Advertising Staff, Quality Staff, and Merchandisers. Lynda quickly realized she didn't have the skills and knowledge required in the area of adult education and training. She enrolled in a certificate program - Adult Education/Staff Training & Development, which was instrumental in helping her find the balance between meeting business needs with her internal clients and learning needs. Upon completion of the certificate program, Lynda was recruited to join the faculty of Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology in Toronto, Canada, to teach Program Planning and Evaluation part time. 

Lynda believes her marketing and business experience (over 15 years) are the essential factors to her continued success in the training industry. She is a business person first, trainer and educator second. This is a unique quality that sets her apart. She is equipped with the essential ability to link content to relevant business needs. Her personable delivery style enables her to relate very well with her audiences. Lynda has worked in the trenches and understands the challenges, politics, and frustrations her audiences are routinely experiencing with never ending change. 

Put Lynda's marketing expertise to work in your organization. She has built hundred's of marketing plans and conducted hundreds of line reviews to drive profit and revenue. Training is just another product that needs the same attention as consumer goods in order to succeed with the customer.
