Everyone’s A Customer II Workshop

Interpersonal Skills to Lead, Influence and Gain
(Leadership Version
)

July 28 - 30, 2008
Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Set Strategy. Learn Leadership Influencing Skills for Implementations

Participants are invited to a work session to implement real work with their associates.  They are asked to bring six to ten improvement recommendations with them; they will try to get them implemented and measured for tangible results.  During the meeting they will receive special coaching on how to succeed at getting support and measurable results.  Some of the coaching is listed below.

Everyone’s A CustomerII is an innovative and effective way of improving skills that are essential for success at service, teamwork, leadership and sales.

The Product

Conducting business requires a combination of technical and interpersonal skills—all aimed at turning people into customers and keeping them satisfied.  This applies to internal customers (buy-in from associates) as well as to external customers (other cabinet members, legislators, vendors, services providers, non-profits, etc.)

The core skills necessary to do business well in today’s environment are way beyond the skills acceptable years ago, and so a higher powered training program is appropriate.  We recommend Everyone’s A CustomerII:

1.      The skills are drawn from award-winning leadership, teamwork, negotiation and service programs with proven track records.

2.     The skills are measurable, not vague, soft or fuzzy.

3.     The skills yield immediate return-on-investment outcomes, guaranteed.

When was the last time you saw measurable increases in people’s sheer competence as a result of training?

When was the last time you saw greater profit as a direct result of training?

You will see it with Everyone’s A CustomerII because it already has a track record for producing those outcomes. 

Integrated Skills

Internal or external customer service: listening, problem-solving, diffusing disagreements and more.

Managerial leadership: coaching and leading oth­ers, implementing change, conducting meetings, handling people problems, motivating, delegating.

Teamwork: creating effective, conflict-free work groups, communicating, discussing and imple­menting ideas, creating a more open and supportive work environment.

Sales and Negotiating: This program is very effective for people in highly accountable positions and who have to negotiate.

A generalized agenda follows below.  However, do not assume this program is like typical “training programs.”  It is much different.

The program isn’t “taught.”  It is coached while people are in a special meeting focused on implementing real work.  So you see if the skills make a difference—immediately!  You see a greater degree of proficiency.  You see higher talent at leadership, teamwork, customer service . . . even at sales ability.

The overwhelming evidence and tangible business results cause better learning and better reinforcement.

Specifications

The coached meeting lasts three days or the equivalent.  It can be broken into shorter segments.  All materials are provided: includes seven award-winning video-coached lessons, a meeting leader’s guide, a participant coaching kit for each person, and optional reinforcement guides for managers who coach others.  The best group size is 12 to 20 people.  The meeting leader is a properly certified coach, ensuring that the guidance your people receive is both practical and practiced.

“The PAR training program is the best at coaching that I have ever seen.  The coaching materials and exercises don’t just convey knowledge, they make sure your people can execute competently.  The execution and the bottom-line results are quickly obvious.  I have never seen anything like that before.  That’s probably why their clients become part of their sales force.  Count me as one of them.”
