Avoid Conflict
We are adamant about avoiding direct competition
with any other training or strategic consulting firm. Our training in classical front-line strategy makes all other
forms of strategy more effective. Past or future decisions to invest in other
forms of strategy training are to be applauded. Those programs increase
the value of our training. We should
partner with other training organizations whenever possible and do
everything we can to promote them as our partners.
If you want to compete
directly with these other forms of strategic training, our programs won’t make
sense to you. |
Become a Spokesperson
Master Trainers and Independent Trainers market their training primarily by giving presentations to business
groups on the natural benefits of classical front-line strategy. This
initial training is designed to open the eyes of the attendees to the need for a
greater understanding of the value of strategy skills on the front lines of their
organizations.
If you don’t think you
can stand in front of businesspeople and put on a show good
enough to leave them wanting more, this opportunity isn’t right for you.

Offer Strategic Assessments
The last part of our process is offering a Strategic
Assessment to potential customers. This assessment consists of two simple
tests: one that identifies the front-line impact of various roles within
their organization and another that grades their level of strategic skills.
These tests are an inexpensive way to measure the extent both of their need
and of the improvement our training makes.
If you can’t make a strong case for making the investment
in this assessment, this opportunity is not for you. |
