Today’s business climate is competitive. Companies will often struggle to meet sales goals on their own. With revenue to generate, brand images to craft and leads to track, seeking the assistance of a channel partner or third-party vendor can be a time-saving solution to delivering your product or service to customers on a much larger scale.
How do you know if a channel partner training programme will give you the results you need? We understand that it’s sometimes difficult to understand exactly how a new system will offer the return on investment needed for your business to reach its goals.
This blog has been written to help you understand the intricacies of training programmes and how one technology-based company made it work for them.
In business, we are programmed to think about the requirements of a particular project and how these feed into the overarching core business objectives. Planning processes are formed by setting objectives and deciding the best course of action to achieve them.
To help answer these questions, we’ve put together this article that clearly defines reasons why we might not be the right fit for you and gives an insight into choosing the right partner for your business.
But part of the planning process should be: who do we want to work with? Why do we want to work with them? And are they the right fit for us?
To help answer these questions, we’ve put together this article that clearly defines reasons why we might not be the right fit for you and gives an insight into choosing the right partner for your business.
Caterpillar’s historic comeback was nearly three decades ago, but the principles behind its success still hold true. Given proper support, your external sales network is the key to new markets, the upholder of your brand’s integrity, and your partners in securing loyalty. But in order to become all of these things, businesses need to provide adequate support and training.
Crutches have remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of years. The logic is simple: You use your hands and arms to balance and move. So when the iWalk 2.0 came onto the scene promising hands-free use, the brand expected users would have trouble visualising how it works.
Yet instead of directing the educational effort towards consumers, the company went a different way and focused on resellers. Partners were given comprehensive training on how to fit patients for the device, and how to teach them to walk in it.

When working on a new training programme, the onus tends to be on content and delivery. The general consensus is usually “we don’t need to outsource any of it”, “we didn’t know we could outsource it” or “this or that team can easily fit that in”.
Of course, we know otherwise and we want to share that knowledge with you.
Maybe you have launched a training programme but it is not reaching its goals, or you are looking at launching a training programme, you are aware of some significant challenges and you don’t want it to fail. Whichever group you fall into, this blog is written to help you understand what can make your training programme fail and the steps you can take to make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
External sales partners generally recognise the value training adds to a partnership. After all, the more adept they are at selling a product, especially if it’s a technical product, the better outcomes for everyone across the board, from the manufacturer to the end-user.
Are you looking at outsourcing your training and using managed learning services? There are so many solutions on the market that we thought it would be helpful for us to talk in-depth about managed learning services, what it encompasses and how using these services can benefit your organisation.
Of course, we know this may seem a little subjective, but we want to help you decide whether our services are the best fit for you.
The average business can take weeks of developing, testing and iterating a single training course before it launches. Some plot out programmes on a yearly basis. However, due to the rapidly evolving nature of the skills we need to work today, that approach will no longer be efficient.
More often than not, creating, maintaining and delivering successful training programmes comes with budgetary challenges. In our experience, the cost attached to producing valuable content is often overlooked or grossly underestimated.
But, many businesses that offer training don’t contemplate the value that high-quality training content holds to the learner. When training content is created, marketed and sold correctly, it’s possible to offset the cost of the programme.
Work is constantly evolving. Technology has allowed businesses to reach an unprecedented number of consumers across many different channels and regions. New methodologies for handling every facet of the business more effectively, from supply chain management to customer service, surface regularly.
A company’s success in a new region is determined in part by how quickly it can get its products on shelves and into the hands of consumers. And when it comes to keeping shelves stocked, one local partner, in particular, plays a significant role: distributors.
