National and Global Team Training

September 21, 2010 by admin3 · Leave a Comment 

Anyone who has ever participated in training can recognize the difficulties surrounding one day training events. After going through the great expense of flying the team together for one impactful day of training, one month later little or nothing has changed. This is especially problematic for the sales force that is spread across the US and throughout the globe. Ideally, training should be constantly repeated and reinforced, but given the time and expense of one-day live workshops how is this possible?

The Internet Advertising Institute recognizes that training budgets and training time is limited, so we accomplish the goal of creating measurable improvement of skills and productivity by replacing “a one-time training event” with a cost-effective multi-phase, multi-media training process where the learning continues outside of the classroom. We call this approach our Multi-Platform Training System (MPTS). The end result is that training becomes part of the culture, learning is ongoing and the usual training costs are reduced.

Our Multi-Platform Training System provides daily training for 12 weeks.

The training begins and ends with live training (featuring interactive lectures, small group exercises and role playing). Additionally, Conference Calls and Webinars (delivered monthly) are used to introduce each new module and allow for extra trainer-participant communication. Online training sales bytes (3-5 minutes each), which managers distribute weekly, focus on one skill at a time. Daily email reminders provide the needed repetition in order to ensure skills that are taught will be consistently implemented.

(Customized training is also available.)

IAI provides digital and non-digital media companies and agencies with training services for their employees and clients. If your company is already in the digital advertising business, then you know the challenges associated with bringing in a new employee with no prior background in your particular vertical. That learning curve can be especially steep when bringing in outsiders for their first ever digital marketing job. IAI’s goal is to give those new employees in one month the equivalent of 6-18 months of on the job training. By getting them off to a fast start, these employees and their companies will benefit from increased productivity and job satisfaction.

If your firm is primarily an offline media company or agency with some online advertising services, OR IS COMPETING WITH ONLINE SPECIALISTS, then you know how critical it is to fast track the training of all your employees, especially your client facing employees – from senior management to your newest seller or media buyer. IAI’s 101 and Essential level courses use plain-speak and other leading edge learning techniques that speed each employee’s education as well as increase the value they bring to your clients.

And, if your clients lack the understanding about digital marketing, why not invest in their education in order to help them understand the benefit of the digital services your firm offers?
