ICED Partners with Info Trends to Provide Franchisees Opportunites for Growth during Tough Economic Times
Houston, Texas - January 21, 2009 - The International Center for Entrepreneurial Development (ICED) is pleased to announce its partnership with InfoTrends, the leading worldwide market research and strategic consulting firm for the digital imaging and document solutions industry, providing members of the ICED family of franchises access to InfoTrend's e-Learning sales training program at a reduced corporate rate.
"Economically challenging periods shouldn't be the time for business owners to stop moving forward," said Bob Metzger, ICED vice chairman. "Now is the time to look for value wherever it may be found and to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare for the future. InfoTrends e-Learning programs are tools that will encourage and educate franchisees in methods to achieve continued sales growth."
Training programs can be expensive, especially when travel is involved. For this reason, ICED negotiated with InfoTrends to give franchisees access to the Customized Communications Sales Training. This Web-based training portal offers a self-paced curriculum with guided audio and engaging interactive exercises, accessible 24 hours a day. Because online training programs can be accessed anywhere at any time, it presents a unique opportunity to offer consistent training to remote employees, as well as a convenient option for onsite staff.
The seven course program is designed to educate print service providers and/or their sales reps on the opportunities and trends within the customized communications market. Through the program, InfoTrends' industry experts provide valuable education on communicating the benefits of customized communications as well as the relative technical aspects, enabling your staff to execute a highly effective sales strategy. Courses can be purchased and taken individually or as a combined curriculum, and further discounts are available if all seven courses are purchased in a package. A Certificate of Completion is awarded once all seven courses have been completed.
The InfoTrends e-learning programs were introduced to the ICED family of franchises in December.
