    Preface

    What is Courseware?

    Welcome to Corporate Training Materials, a completely new training

    experience!

    Our courseware packages offer you top-quality training materials that

    are customizable, user-friendly, educational, and fun. We provide yourmaterials, materials for the student, PowerPoint slides, and a take-

    home reference sheet for the student. You simply need to prepare and

    train!

    Best of all, our courseware packages are created in Microsoft Office and can be opened using any

    version of Word and PowerPoint. (Most other word processing and presentation programs support

    these formats, too.) This means that you can customize the content, add your logo, change the color

    scheme, and easily print and e-mail training materials.

    How Do I Customize My Course?

    Customizing your course is easy. To edit text, just click and type as you would with any document. This is

    particularly convenient if you want to add customized statistics for your region, special examples for

    your participants industry, or additional information. You can, of course, also use all of your word

    processors other features, including text formatting and editing tools (such as cutting and pasting).

    To remove modules, simply select the text and press Delete on your keyboard. Then, navigate to the

    Table of Contents, right-click, and click Update Field. You may see a dialog box; if so, click Update entire

    table and press OK.

    (You will also want to perform this step if you add modules or move them around.)

    If you want to change the way text looks, you can format any piece of text any way you want. However,

    to make it easy, we have used styles so that you can update all the text at once.

    If you are using Word 97 to 2003, start by clicking the Format menu followed by Styles and Formatting.

    In Word 2007 and 2010 under the Home tab, right-click on your chosen style and click Modify. That will

    then produce the Modify Style options window where you can set your preferred style options.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    4/49

    For example, if we wanted to change our Heading 1 style, used for Module Titles, this is what we would

    do:

    Now, we can change our formatting and it will apply to all the headings in the document.

    For more information on making Word work for you, please refer to Word 2007 or 2010 Essentials by

    Corporate Training Materials.

    Materials Required

    All of our courses use flip chart paper and markers extensively. (If you prefer, you can use a whiteboard

    or chalkboard instead.)

    We recommend that each participant have a copy of the Training Manual, and that you review each

    module before training to ensure you have any special materials required. Worksheets and handouts are

    included within a separate activities folder and can be reproduced and used where indicated. If you

    would like to save paper, these worksheets are easily transferrable to a flip chart paper format, instead

    of having individual worksheets.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    5/49

    We recommend these additional materials for all workshops:

    Laptop with projector, for PowerPoint slides Quick Reference Sheets for students to take home Timer or watch (separate from your laptop) Masking tape Blank paper

    Maximizing Your Training Power

    We have just one more thing for you before you get started. Our company is built for trainers, by

    trainers, so we thought we would share some of our tips with you, to help you create an engaging,

    unforgettable experience for your participants.

    Make it customized. By tailoring each course to your participants, you will find that your resultswill increase a thousand-fold.

    o Use examples, case studies, and stories that are relevant to the group.o Identify whether your participants are strangers or whether they work together. Tailor

    your approach appropriately.

    o Different people learn in different ways, so use different types of activities to balance itall out. (For example, some people learn by reading, while others learn by talking about

    it, while still others need a hands-on approach. For more information, we suggest

    Experiential Learning by David Kolb.)

    Make it fun and interactive. Most people do not enjoy sitting and listening to someone else talkfor hours at a time. Make use of the tips in this book and your own experience to keep your

    participants engaged. Mix up the activities to include individual work, small group work, large

    group discussions, and mini-lectures.

    Make it relevant. Participants are much more receptive to learning if they understand why theyare learning it and how they can apply it in their daily lives. Most importantly, they want to

    know how it will benefit them and make their lives easier. Take every opportunity to tie what

    you are teaching back to real life.

    Keep an open mind. Many trainers find that they learn something each time they teach aworkshop. If you go into a training session with that attitude, you will find that there can be an

    amazing two-way flow of information between the trainer and trainees. Enjoy it, learn from it,

    and make the most of it in your workshops.

    And now, time for the training!

    Icebreakers

    Each course is provided with a wide range of interactive Icebreakers. The trainer can utilize an

    Icebreaker to help facilitate the beginning of the course, as it helps break the ice with the

    participants. If the participants are new to each other, an icebreaker is a great way to introduce

    everyone to each other. If the participants all know each other it can still help loosen up the

    room and begin the training session on positive note. Below you will see one of the icebreakers

    that can be utilized from the Icebreakers folder.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    7/49

    Icebreaker: Friends Indeed

    Purpose

    Have the participants moving around and help to make introductions to each other.

    MaterialsRequired

    Name card for each person Markers

    Preparation

    Have participants fill out their name card. Then, ask participants to stand in a circle, shoulder to

    shoulder. They should place their name card at their feet. Then they can take a step back. You

    as the facilitator should take the place in the center of the circle.

    Activity

    Explain that there is one less place than people in the group, as you are in the middle and will

    be participating. You will call out a statement that applies to you, and anyone to whom that

    statement applies must find another place in the circle.

    Examples:

    Friends who have cats at home Friends who are wearing blue Friends who dont like ice cream

    The odd person out must stand in the center and make a statement.

    The rules:

    You cannot move immediately to your left or right, or back to your place. Lets be adults: no kicking, punching, body-checking, etc.

    Play a few rounds until everyone has had a chance to move around.

    Training Manual Sample

    On the following pages is a sample module from our Training Manual. Each of our courses

    contains twelve modules with three to five lessons per module. It is in the same format and

    contains the same material as the Instructor Guide, which is then shown after the Training

    Manual sample, but does not contain the Lesson Plans box which assists the trainer during

    facilitation.

    The Training Manual can be easily updated, edited, or customized to add your business name

    and company logo or that of your clients. It provides each participant with a copy of the

    material where they can follow along with the instructor.

    Sample Module: What is Marketing?

    Sometimes marketing is confused with the simple act of selling or

    increasing sales. But, marketing is the channel companies take to grab

    the customers attention and bring them to make a purchase. A team

    often manages marketing since the job itself can cover many different

    tasks and duties. It is often the first step in building a relationship withthe customer and building brand recognition.

    The aim of marketing is to know

    and understand the customer so

    well the product or service fits

    him and sells itself.

    What is a Market?

    A market is loosely defined as a medium where customers and sellers with shared

    interests and desires conduct business. For example, there is a transportation

    consumer market. A market has a broad definition, and it is necessary for marketers

    to find the customers in the market who will purchase their products. The process ofidentifying potential customers is finding a target market. Target markets generally

    consist of individuals who may or may not interact with each other, but they do

    share many common characteristics, such as values, interests, or buying habits. However, identifying

    similar traits is not all there is to a market it also requires potential customers who have the interest

    and income to make the purchase. This is why defining and building a market for any company requires

    extensive market research.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    11/49

    Marketing is Not Selling

    Many people confuse the act of marketing with the act of selling because both

    involve the act of interesting customers so that they purchase your product.

    Selling occurs when the customer purchases the product or service. Marketing,

    however, is the art of grabbing the potential customers attention, which will,hopefully, lead to a purchase. The goal of marketing is to leave an impression on

    the consumers, making your brand more recognizable and memorable to them. The key to marketing is

    providing knowledge about your company and your product, service or your brand. Your brand is what

    sets you apart from the competition. The more customers know about your brand, the more desirable

    the end sale becomes to the consumer. Building the brand and the brand awareness are the key points

    of marketing that can set it apart from selling.

    Branding:

    Connect with customers: Reach customers on a personal level with different marketingmethods.

    Anticipate needs: Use research to keep up with market trends. Be consistent: Always be consistent in your image, product, and customer service.

    Sometimes the marketing process can take multiple touch points over a period of time, which is why

    marketing is not for the impatient.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    12/49

    Understanding Customer Needs

    Since marketing is based on what will bring the customer to your company, it is only

    natural to consider the customers needs and wants. Remember, your customers

    are your target audience, and you must address their needs and desires directly. A

    company cannot market a new brand of mens socks to a target of new mothers!

    Points to consider:

    What does the customer want? What does the customer need? What is something that will benefit them? What makes the customer want to buy from you?

    Understanding your target market requires market research. Basically, you must consume all the

    information you can about your customer base. Some research is available in the form of government

    statistics, but you must find some of the information from the customers directly. Direct sources include

    surveys and focus groups.

  • 7/30/2019 Marketing Basics Sample

    13/49

    Defining Your Product or Service

    Before you can begin to market your companys product or service, you must define

    what it is and what it can do for the public. Your product is what you offer to the

    public, but you cannot market your product to someone if you cannot first identify it

    yourself. Start with a definition of the product and what its entails. Outline specificcharacteristics along with the pros and cons of having it. Outline how it can benefit

    the consumer and what it can offer them once they buy it. What is its value? What

    would the customer be willing to do to have your product or service? These pieces

    should bring the product puzzle together and help the marketer achieve a clear picture of what is being

    offered to the public.

    Tips to remember:

    Know all aspects of the product or service. What does it offer the consumer? Define its qualities and benefits. Determine who your target audience would be.

    Case Study

    When James opened up his restaurant, he was sure that people would love it. He

    sold hamburgers, and he reasoned that everyone loves hamburgers, so he was

    surprised when business was slower than he expected. He had a prime location in

    a wealthy, new suburb, so he knew that the people in the area could afford to eatout. James finally decided to perform a survey of the area to better understand his

    customers. He learned that most of his market was made up of health conscious

    individuals who avoided hamburgers and fried food most days.

    15/49

    Instructor Guide Sample

    On the following pages is a sample module from our Instructor Guide. It provides the instructor

    with a copy of the material and a Lesson Plans box. Each Instructor Guide and Training Manual

    mirrors each other in terms of the content. They differ in that the Instructor Guide is

    customized towards the trainer, and Training Manual is customized for the participant.

    The key benefit for the trainer is the Lesson Plan box. It provides a standardized set of tools to

    assist the instructor train that particular lesson. The Lesson Plan box gives an estimated time to

    complete the lesson, any materials that are needed for the lesson, recommended activities, and

    additional points to assist in delivering the lessons such as Stories to Share and Delivery Tips.

    Promotion

    Any communication about the value and

    benefits that you have to offer is a

    promotion. People often confusepromotion with marketing. Promotion,

    however, is only one part of the

    marketing mix. It is important to balance

    promotion with the other Ps.

    There are many different methods of

    promotion:

    Advertising: This is used to reach amass market.

    Selling: This is small group or one onone communication.

    Publicity: This includes mentions inthe press or online.

    Word of mouth: Customers are partof the promotion process, and word

    of mouth should not be ignored.

    Price

    The second part of the marketing mix is price. The price is what

    the customer pays, and it affects purchasing. A high price will

    discourage buying, but a low price may require a cut in productquality. Pricing is complex, but there are two basic pricing

    methods: value based and cost based.

    Value based: This method of pricing is what the company

    believes the customer is willing to pay for the product. For

    example, parking may be based on a value based system rather

    than the cost of the space itself. Value based pricing is driven by

    supply and demand.

    Cost based: Cost based pricing is based on what the product

    actually costs to make. The costs are added up, and the price is

    based on what it takes to cover the costs and make a profit.

    Choosing the Right Media

    It is impossible to communicate with your target audience if you do not use the correct media. For example,

    overlooking social media for younger customers will almost guarantee that they do not receive your

    communication. Choosing the right media depends on your customer and your budget.

    Radio: This media only reaches a small group, but you can focus exclusively on your target market. Television: The media reaches a broader group, but it is expensive and the message may be ignored with DVRs. Publications: Reach your target market in specific publications. Internet: Banner ads and SEO broaden the market. Social media: Social media allows customers to follow and share, but it requires monitoring and maintenance.
