Each webinar features an industry-leading training expert. Topics include: learning innovation; training for retention and growth; course design and technology; ROI analysis; training metrics and measurement, customer-service training, sales training, and more. All webinars are free of charge. Participants are encouraged to register in advance at http://www.tortal.net/breakthrough-training-signup.

“It is no secret that training is on everyone’s mind these days for very good reasons,” says Cordell Riley, President of Tortal Training. “When done right, training improves customer satisfaction, employee motivation and retention, competitiveness, and profitability. Yet with the arrival of elearning, distributed workforces and other recent changes, training is evolving so quickly that many executives are hard-pressed to keep current with best practices. That is why everyone at Tortal Training is thrilled to launch this free webinar series, which we have planned around the theme `Look Smart, Get Results.’ Every webinar presenter is a leading expert in his or her discipline. Some are consultants who earn high fees to help plan and implement training programs. Others are forward-thinking leaders who regularly share their insights as keynote speakers at industry conferences and write bestselling books.”
