Independent Contract Trainer:
General Competencies

Go Back 

For more than 30 years, our customers have come to expect high-quality training from us.  Our goal is to continue to meet and exceed their expectations.  Therefore, we seek a high standard of excellence from our Independent Contract Trainers. 

Our most successful trainers possess:

1. Real-World Business Experience
2. Story-Telling Ability
3. Interactive Training Style
4. Sales Experience
5. Flexibility and Independence
6. Personality-Plus
7. Entertainment Appeal
8. Professional Appearance and Credibility
9. Love of Learning
10. Travel-Readiness
11. Commitment
12. Self-Coaching Experience
13. Entrepreneurial Experience

Real-World Business Experience: While every seminar follows an established, outlined curriculum, our contract trainers illustrate and enrich the material with their own expertise. You should be able to relate the seminar to your own experiences, as well as those of the audience. We count on our contract trainers to convey their individual insights and to provide "real-world" applications for the subject.

Story-Telling Ability: Nothing makes a point faster than the emotional appeal of a great story. Strong presentation skills are the foundation of every successful trainer. Combining talent and technique, you must be able to capture the attention of an audience, and keep it -- for an entire day.

Interactive Training Style: Leading a seminar isn't easy. We want to contract with professionals who are excellent trainers. You should know how to reach and teach the adult learner, and be comfortable in group training situations. Our customers are adult learners who want a trainer who is a "Guide on the Side, Not a Sage on the Stage." No lecturers need apply.

Sales Experience:  If you are motivated to increase your company’s bottom line, you want to contract with Fred Pryor Seminars and CareerTrack.  We offer books, tapes, videos, and software at each seminar to enhance continued learning and training. Your success and revenue potential are directly tied to your ability to sell CareerStore products.  You should be able to explain their benefits and relevance to your audience and encourage sales.

Flexibility and Independence: You're "on your own" most of the time -- that means you must be able to handle a multitude of situations independently. If you're adaptable, a problem-solver, remain calm in crisis situations, enjoy working independently, and have a "show-must-go-on" attitude,  then you've got what it takes to succeed as an independent contract trainer with Fred Pryor Seminars and CareerTrack.

Personality-Plus: As a trainer, you'll need to form a special bond with each audience and have the affable, charismatic personality to establish a relationship from the platform. You are the seminar!

Entertainment Appeal: Seminar audiences expect more than just information -- they expect learning to be entertaining as well. If you can present informative material in a fun, fast-forward style and teach your subject matter in a captivating, engaging format, you'll deliver what our audiences expect -- a creative, high-content program that keeps them entertained, engrossed, and attentive.

Professional Appearance and Credibility: First impressions are all -important. Our contract trainers always present a positive professional image -- their credibility depends on it.

Love of Learning: When you contract with us as a trainer, the learning has only just begun. To keep on top of the latest management thinking requires extensive reading, networking, and ongoing training.

Travel-Readiness: You'll be presenting back-to-back one-day seminars in 3-, 4-, or 5-day tours. Advance scheduling enables you to coordinate your seminar calendar with other commitments -- but you must be ready and willing to travel, with the ability to tolerate the strains and rigors that sometimes challenge the frequent traveler.

Commitment:  We're committed to your success, and we want you to be committed to ours. We strive to build mutually beneficial relationships with our contract trainers, and we back that up through extensive resources, training, networking, and corporate support. Though we are your client, we want you to think of us as your partner.

Self-Coaching Experience:  Your success will depend on your ability to take feedback from customers and corporate staff members, as well as your ability to identify places in your seminar that need improvement and development, and then make the appropriate changes.  This is crucial to ensuring your success in both sales and customer satisfaction.  We offer support to all trainers, but our most successful trainers are experts at self-correcting.

 

Entrepreneurial Experience:  Do you currently own your own business or have the desire to chart your own future?
