5 Costliest Mistakes In Training

Event-based training is a key revenue contributor to the enterprise. Many leading enterprises now offer extensive rosters of training courses— available across the world—year-round. While courses continue to be delivered in the traditional instructor-led format, many enterprises have
evolved their offerings to include web-based training, recorded, and self paced learning programs.

Through the use of any or all training delivery methods, training managers develop their programs aiming to:

• Convert customers into successful product or service users

• Increase customer retention and repeat sales

• Foster product and company evangelists

However, with expanding training programs comes increased spending. To achieve maximum return, you need to manage the business side of training as efficiently and effectively as you manage the educational side.
In the pages that follow, Rainmaker, the leader in training management solutions, offers invaluable advice on how to avoid the five costliest mistakes in external training programs while improving the quality, financial return,
and overall business impact of your enterprise training initiatives.

42 Rules of Marketing eBook by Laura Lowell

The concept of 42 rules is that almost anything in life can be summarized into 42 distinct ideas that capture the essence of the topic. I am often asked "Why 42?" In the science-fiction
novel turned cult film, ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’, a computer is built to answer the
"ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything." The answer is simply "42." As I approached writing this book, 27 rules seemed too low, but 51 were way too many. Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhikers Guide, was on to something when he chose 42. It felt right to me as well. The ‘42 Rules of Marketing’ is a compilation of ideas, theories, and practical approaches I have
been collecting over the years. The idea was to create a series of helpful reminders; things that marketers know we should do, but don't always have the time or patience to do.
