Staff Training in 2013. What to Look For

 I’ll begin by sparing you the tired economic breakdown opener, and how it relates to the topic at hand.  If I have to read another recycled account of financial news, my skull is going to split like the Griswold Christmas Vacation turkey.  I think we get it.  I’ll leave the country’s fiscal analysis to those who are better suited to write about it, and keep the focus on staff training. No, this is not an elaborate sales scheme cleverly disguised as a blog.  I too, grow tired of reading ads…See More

Personal Quote
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Biography
Senior Vice President of Sales, with 12 years experience as a training specialist, as well as designer and producer of media content. In my previous work, I implemented a number of programs which have been used in industries from manufacturing to hospitality. I worked to help large companies streamline their classroom-based training efforts by helping them transition from paper to data.

Restaurants: The No Cold Call Zone

Posted on November 8, 2011 at 7:15pm 1 Comment

To suggest that restaurants are busy is like saying college football is loud. Whether they're serving delicious food at breakneck speed or struggling with random and unexpected dilemmas, restaurants shed new light to the term-busy. The phone rings in the background, with potential customers inquiring about the hours, or calling to reserve tables. In the perfect world, this…
