Computer software training is an area of huge revenue potential for the savvy network consultant.  Not only are you the computer department for your client companies, you are also the computer expert.  By offering computer software training you increase the value of your services many times over.  

Here are some helpful ideas regarding computer software training.

  • When you do computer software training you add value to the human resources of the company, not just the IT based resources.  This puts you and your services in a whole new light and it allows you to deepen your relationship with your client.
  • Computer software training also helps to prevent one of the biggest potential obstacles of server and LAN installations.  When clients lack training it prevents them from fully utilizing the new system.  This causes them to devalue the service you provide.  
  • Small business end users rarely have the luxury of taking full-day or multi-day off-site computer software training classes. Now more than ever, the small business network consultant is often the only way that clients’ staff will ever get any formal software training – even if it’s relatively informal one-on-one or small group sessions.
  • When you get a new client, be sure to discuss computer software training outset.  This way you can craft a custom training solution appropriate for each client’s unique needs.
  • Be sure to strongly recommend and factor in a few hours of one-on-one or small group end user computer software training sessions into every server or LAN proposal.
  • Remember that your clients desperately need this computer software training to get maximum value out of their IT investments. Incorporate this message into your marketing and sales approaches.  
  • Computer software training is a significant factor for helping clients avoid buyer’s remorse.
  • You and your clients should see a dramatic reduction in relatively frivolous help desk calls. (“HELP! I lost my toolbar again!”)
  • By providing computer software training you’ll almost always uncover future sales opportunities for your consulting services. (think of it as hidden gold bullion!)
