DTR Inc. Retools Its Training Services to Meet the Needs of the Changing Economy

Oct. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- DTR Inc. is moving its tradition training services away from “full service” offerings to end user clients to a two tier approach of offering a more affordable “training mentorship” approach to end user clients, and offering a training service that can be positioned as a value-added service business-to-business providers can offer for free to their customers as a way to maintain and grow their market share.

The goal of DTR inc.'s mentorship training program is to provide training tools, a training implementation plan, and initial guidance so that a business’ supervisors can effectively train employees on a wide-range of required skills and behaviors, including customer service, generic sales skills, work readiness skills, ethics, etc.   The beauty of DTR Inc.’s approach is that it uses live training as opposed to training from DVDs or pre-recorded information on the Internet.  DTR Inc.’s CEO, Jay Goldberg, generated  “DTR Inc’s Hierarchy of Training” which correlates the effectiveness of training medium to the self-motivation of the individual being trained.  The less self-motivated the participant, the more “live” elements must be in the training for that training to be effective; especially in areas where changing and shaping attitudes is as important as the knowledge being taught.  DVDs and pre-recorded web-based training only works well for individuals who strongly want to learn the material they are viewing.  

The initial "training mentoship" service being offered by DTR Inc., involves scenario role-playing.  For more information, visit http://www.dtrconsulting.biz/dtrscenario.htm.

A second option for inexpensive, cost-effective workplace training is to use Jay Goldberg’s work readiness book, How to Get, Keep and Be Well Paid in a Job  to implement an effective, live, work readiness training program. The book should be used in a read and discuss format (employees and their supervisor) holding the employees accountable in a formal manner for what they learned from the book from that point forward by consistently demonstrating that learned behavior/skill on the job.  For more information regarding the book, go to http://outskirtspress.com/webpage.php?ISBN=9781432725297.

DTR Inc.'s initial service offering for business-to-business providers, so they can offer their clients a value-added service to help maintain and grow market share, is a training lecture series.  The lecture series will be delivered by DTR Inc.'s CEO Jay Goldberg, or by an individual selected, vetted and trained by Jay Goldberg, and be offered free by the business-to-business provider to its clients. This service is perfect for banks, but can also be offered by other business-to-business providers (payroll companies, temp agencies, bookkeeping firms, etc.).  The lecture series contains six topics which combine to present a wide range of skills and knowledge to help businesses increase revenues and grow their bottom line so they can stay in business and be profitable for a long time.  For more information, visit http://www.dtrconsulting.biz/dtrbank.htm.
