Let's address the core issue. Everyone is different. Over. Endless video tutorials and hours spent in training. So how do we turn jaded naysayers into raving advocates? Consider this. Why do we need training? It's to make sure that everyone can use the system effectively. We're not aiming for survival, we're aiming for thriving. And it starts with understanding that training is not a nice to have. It's your ticket to empowering your team and scaling your business. So let's break down this four step process of creating an effective training system that sticks. So one, team learning. First, provide for a variety of learning preferences. It's not a one size fits all. Each of us have our own learning style. Some might prefer reading, detailed guides, while others might learn better through interactive sessions. Video tutorials work for me, but Only if I can watch them at two times. offering various training formats enables learners to select the one that works best for them. Two time and learning space. Carving out regular time slots for learning is critical. This isn't cramming the night before an exam. This is about allowing your team to learn and practice without pressure. Get them to play around with the systems. Mistakes are not just okay. They're encouraged. Three, incremental training. Now, let's talk about progression. Create a clear path from beginner to advanced. Think of it as a game. With each level conquered, confidence and capabilities grow. This makes the learning process engaging and measurable. To help with this, set up a go to resource for questions and support. This might be built into the software, or you might need to create your own repository in SharePoint, Notion, or your project management tool. Centralize the information so the team never has to wonder where to ask questions. Or good answers. A shared knowledge base is a key asset in reinforcing learning and effectiveness with the software. And four, knowledge sharing. Create an environment of shared learning. Regular catch ups where the team can exchange tips and experiences with the system can be incredibly potent. This way, your sales system stays alive, evolving and improving with each use. Think of it this way. Efficient training gets your sales system from being a piece of software to a dynamic tool enhancing your entire team's performance. With a thoughtful approach to training, it's not just about going through the motions. It's about fostering a team that's equipped, confident, and motivated to use the system day in and day out.
