INSTRUCTORS GUIDE INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You are about to teach a course that will change the way sales professionals sell! The principles in this course have changed hundreds of thousands of lives for
the better. Both the company and the individual benefit from employee participation in this
easy-to-implement program. We want to give you an understanding of the course format to
help make this a successful learning experience for you and the participants.

Format Explanation
The Instructors Guide includes a worksheet you will copy for each participant as well as all
the necessary instructions you need to teach the class.
These are the components for each module:
Timing Guidelines: Allows you to see approximately how long each component will take,
giving you the flexibility to schedule your training when most convenient for you.
Say: This information is provided in a narrative format for you to adapt to your own style
of teaching; it is NOT a script to be read verbatim. Rather it is a suggestion of how to introduce a lesson or activity.
Activity: The activities in each lesson have been carefully selected to provide elements of
self-discovery and opportunities to practice building skills in the safe environment of the
classroom.
Do: Step-by-step procedures for each worksheet.
Show Video: Each lesson has the teaching points given on a 5-6 minute video. This is an
important part of each lesson.
Ziggets: These are the key points - the principal elements - each participant should leave
with, from a particular lesson. A quick review of these would serve as a great way to close
the training session.

ABCS OF ADULT LEARNING

Adults need a time to shift gears and get warmed up when attending training. Your
Instructors Guide is a resource for ways to energize your sessions. The opening activity
should be relevant to the content, not just an icebreaker. A professional training effort
will always give attention to the opening activity because it can:

Put people at ease and energize them to the task of learning


Demonstrate your philosophy of learning
Indicate that participants are responsible for learning and that you are their facilitator
Communicate the kind of trainer you are
Serve as a bridge to later activities
Set climate, tone and pace for the program

Big Picture (overview) is needed for all adult learners, but there are particular learners who
will stay in a state of confusion until they can see the big picture. This part should include:
A general comparison (early in the course) of the learning goals to the
salespersons own life, job environment or career development
An explanation that training is related to solving specific problems sales people
experience
Competencies or skills that will be practiced and learned
Assurance that they will not be judged but rather assessed as they actively
participate in the learning process
An opportunity to monitor themselves and each other
Control of ones own learning gives adults more of a sense of confidence. It also reduces
resistance. Set up your training environment to be casual, but structured. Adults need to:

Learn at their own speed


Talk aloud and share their thinking processes and ideas
Monitor themselves and discover their own answers, at times
Receive feedback to help work it out for themselves versus right or wrong
answers
Explore the relevance of the material to their own worlds, on and off the job
Understand how they are doing from time to time
What you expect from your participants you will often get. Many studies have shown
that the teachers expectations, perception, and opinion of the student and his/her capabilities DO affect the students results.

A DOZEN TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CLASS

Tip 1: When asking for questions or comments at the end of a segment, ask, What questions or
comments do you have? instead of Are there any questions? The former phrase indicates you
assume people will have questions, giving unspoken encouragement and permission to participate.
Tip 2: Review the module and prepare your supplemental material, personal anecdotes and overheads in advance.
Tip 3: When asking for participation in a large group, introverts need 2-3 minutes to think before
they are ready to answer. You may want to say something like, Think about objections (or what
ever the topic you are discussing). What are they and how are they useful? (Pause for 1-2 minutes
before obtaining answers.) Then say, Who is ready to answer? Questions that ask how, what, etc.,
are often less threatening than why questions.
Tip 4: Reward participation, not just right answers. Small prizes such as funny notepads or candy
can be included for certain activities that encourage competition.
Tip 5: If you get resistance in any exercise because the participants feel awkward, tell them that a
training environment is like a lab experience, unfamiliar at first. However, as they continue to
practice, the skills become more natural. The classroom is a safer place to learn than on the job.
Tip 6: Another way to encourage shy people to participate is to use the following process for your
debrief: Before you ask people to answer questions, tell them to THINK, PAIR AND SHARE. That is,
ask the questions you want the participants to answer. Give them about two minutes to think. Ask
them to pick a partner and discuss their findings for this time period. Then bring them into the large
group to share further, if you choose.
Tip 7: Ten minutes is a long time for a lecture. Keep your talks as short as possible for adult learners and break up the teaching time with activities.
Tip 8: You dont have to know all the answers. You can throw the question back to the participants
by saying, Who can answer that question?, What do YOU think about.?, What other answers
might there be?, or answer with silence.
Tip 9: Use creative ways to partner people. For example, tell participants to make eye contact with
someone NOT next to you and that person is your next partner.
Tip 10: Each group needs a leader to keep things moving and to act as scribe or spokesperson.
Choose them in unique ways, such as asking, Who in your group went to bed latest last night?
Tip 11: When listing information on a flip chart (collected from the participants), use two colors
alternately for ease of reading.
Tip 12: Research has shown that playing classical music at 40-60 beats per minute in the background during table discussions or individual exercises increases the relaxation and alertness of the
participants.

Procrastination is a nasty habit we all have at one time or another maybe even now.
Paperwork might be a necessary part of the job, but sometimes the way we mishandle it
wastes our time and keeps us from our real job, which is helping those around us do their
jobs well.

Activity:
Giving positive feedback.
Using the I appreciate slips provided, write one to an employee who needs your positive
feedback. (Remember, it needs to be sincere and about a specific behavior.) When do you
plan to give this to the employee?
Giving instructional feedback.
Think of a current or past employee that could benefit from instructional feedback. Plan
out the three-step approach you will use, or should have used.

STEP ONE: Consultation. When will you meet with him/her? Where? Jot down a few notes
about how you will begin the conversation.

STEP TWO: Problem definition. Obviously, this needs to be done with the employee.
However, you need to have the problem clearly identified in your own mind before the
meeting. Jot down the problem clearly as you see it.

STEP THREE: Plan of action. Again, this needs to be completed with the employee.
However, you need to have a few options prepared before the conversation. Jot down some
alternatives acceptable to you.

strengths and learn how to work effectively with them.
Activity:
2. If you do not have time for the activity during the lesson, encourage each manager to
