Why do so many smaller companies avoid training their people in these 'people skills'?

1. Because it costs too much.

Yes, it usually does!

Our solution for you

We sell our time. And because booking days into diaries rarely fits exactly, we often have a few spare days left over each month after our corporate clients have booked up. These spare days would be wasted if we didn't offer them to anyone, so it makes sense to provide them to smaller companies at a lower price.

So you get blue chip quality training at a price you can afford!

The only downside is you can't book up as far ahead as our blue chip corporate clients. However, once booked we never cancel you in favour of another client, whoever they are.

2. Because it takes your people off the job.

Yes, it usually does!

Our solution for you

Because we schedule our training for SMEs around the work we do with our corporate clients we can cost effectively train in sessions that last just half a day each, or even less.

As well as taking your people away from their jobs for much less time, it is also proven that 'a little and often' is a much more effective way to train because it gives people the chance to take a few new ideas, try them out, then get more help. Getting all the ideas in one big dose over a few consecutive days is often too overwhelming.

We also do a lot of 'on the job' training, for example, accompanying your people as they interview, talk to customers, manage their staff etc. This 'coaching' approach is highly effective, and means that your people have no time at all away from their jobs.

3. Because training in these people skills is OK for big companies, but smaller companies don't need it.

No you don't!

Or rather, you don't need a lot of the stuff that can often go with such training from many corporate suppliers paperwork, theory, management fashions/fads, 'management consultancy speak' etc

What you can benefit from greatly is real, practical improvements in your people's skills that can so easily, quickly and cheaply distinguish you in the eyes of your customers.

Our solution for you

All of our people have had years of success in running their own departments or businesses in highly competitive markets. We have no-one who just knows the theory, but has never done it in real life.

So our approach and material is all geared to what is pragmatic, practical, realistic, effective and most importantly quick to understand and quick to implement in your real workplace.
