How to Design Six Sigma Training
That Works for Sales & Marketing
Far too often, Six Sigma and a sales/marketing audience mix like oil and water. Training a sales & marketing audience in Six Sigma can make Sponsors and Black Belts feel like they have been thrown into a lion's den. The resulting uproar can set back legitimate attempts to introduce systematic improvement for years. A root cause for this failure is that standard Six Sigma training programs have not been designed for sales & marketing audience.
It does not have to be that way!
In this highly practical workshop, Paul Selden shares the secrets of what made his Six Sigma for Sales & Marketing training programs so successful at pioneering companies like GE and AlliedSignal/Honeywell. By incorporating a simple list of common-sense suggestions, attendees will be able to avoid the "train wreck" and "slow walk" syndromes that can occur when Six Sigma collides with a sales & marketing audience.
Topics covered include:
- List of specific root causes for training program failure
- Differences between standard and sales & marketing training agendas

- What not to waste time covering - and what MUST be covered!
