Compete for Clients, Not for Cash
Today’s e-learning market is vast and easily accessible. How’s a training company like yours supposed to compete? While marketing is the obvious answer, taking specific steps will set you apart from other training providers. Following best practices for marketing and selling professional training courses will set you up for great client relationships and steady sales. Like Jeffrey Gitomer, sales and marketing expert and author of The Little Red Book of Selling, says, “Great salespeople are relationship builders who provide value and help their customers win.”

Best practices are so much more than just marketing and selling. Successfully competing in the e-learning market today requires thorough research and planning. Preparation will set you up for growth, both in sales and in terms of moving toward the future of what your business could be. Commit to taking the necessary time to learn and prepare by setting big goals, identifying and mining your resources, and determining your budget.

In all that you do to set yourself up for success, remember that your relationship with your clients—both present and potential—is the top priority. People buy from companies they trust, making it crucial that you build relationships and make personal connections right from the start. The best way to do this is to make sure you know and understand your client and their needs fully so you can speak to their experiences, forming a connection and building their trust in your brand.
