It
is time to answer this really basic question of why you would even want to
possibly invest in training and why you might hope to use it to supercharge
your skills and effectiveness to succeed.
Training is Not for
Everyone
Before we talk
about why TO invest, let’s talk about why NOT to invest.
Don’t Invest in Training if…
· You don’t expect to get back way more value than you invest (ROI).
· Your industry does not require a lot of skills.
· You have low ambition.
· You're content and complacent where you're at and intend to stay there.
· You have a smaller team and or you don't plan on growing.
· It doesn't matter as much to you how fast or how well things get done as long as things get done.
· You are satisfied with and enjoy the status quo just the way things already are.
·
Stability and consistency are more important to you than innovation and progress.
If
these points describe your team, why not just stay the same and keep doing things
the way you've always done them?
·
You want to grow big!
· You feel the need.
· You realize that you're not as efficient as you could be.
· You feel the constant taxations of paying “inefficiency fees” every day.
· You’re tired of all of the blunders and dysfunctionality you constantly bear all the time and are ready to finally see things change.
So many of the enormous problems that feel like they cannot be fixed can actually be effectively solved by expert training.
· Cut production time in half.
· Become a top player in your field of work.
· Do things faster than you ever thought possible.
· Get more efficient.
· Get more productive.
· Get home earlier.
· Get more organized.
· Get digitally optimized.
· Gain control over your productivity.
· Get on top and conquer your inefficiency problems.
· Stop blundering your work.
· Eliminate time wasting.
·
Improve team performance.
· Boost Employee satisfaction .
· Please your leaders and your team.
·
Take your production process more seriously.
·
Get ahold of game changing skills
·
Completely change your profit margins by increasing your efficiency.
·
Get the best of everything in one place without wasting any time.
·
Fly higher and overcome your setbacks and inabilities.
·
Change the rules of how your business can operate.
·
Become the king of your business culture.
·
Drive your business vision forward instead of being drug around by its
problems.
·
Harness and cultivate the best of existing talent and grow it to new
heights to meet your specific business goals.
·
Become a more powerful and productive leader with a sharper vision and
enhanced communication skills that keep you in charge and in control!
Tired of doing things the long and wrong way?
Teams and individuals who really want to improve can expect great returns from efficiency courses!
Answering
the question of “why should you invest in training” can almost be as simple as
answering the question of why get better, or why improve, or why get more
persuasive or qualified or certified, or why get stronger, or why gain new skills,
or why become more powerful, or more productive, or more efficient, or more
effective, or more successful?
Why
increase your chances of scoring higher as a project manager?
Why
solve all your organizational problems, and learn to use Outlook, and fix your
time and task management, and boost your sales and marketing team with the very
best Photoshop and other graphic software and media production skills?
Why
would you want your team to have better ethics and to be better behaved?
By the way, what if you could not only get your employees to work on time but you could actually train them to be reliable and stay on top of tasks? – But why would you want that?
Why
would you as a business leader want to learn how to resolve conflict in your
workplace and lead with certainty and vision and boost your communication
skills to courageously lead your team into the unknown?
Why
would you want any of these kinds of skills?
Why
would you want to solve your festering problems and not have them
around to nag you anymore?
Why
should you want to increase the skills on your team so that they can perform
better?
Why
would you want to make sure that you had the top most performing team with the
highest competencies possible?
Why
would you want to exponentially increase your abilities and gain a top
competitive advantage far above and beyond most other businesses?
Why
would you want to make sure that you and your team do what you do better than
anyone else?
Why
would you want to make your company top-performing, waste free, more skilled,
more efficient, industry-leading, top producing, maximum
profiting?
So
why invest in training? Why improve? Why get better?
