Training Program
4 Pillars Consulting Group training system is a comprehensive step by step guide to build the necessary skills to be successful in your new business. Our training program covers all aspects of building your skills, business and marketing plans, and financial knowledge to become a one of a kind consultant in your field. The program builds a solid foundation for being successful in your business venture as a unique 4 Pillars Consultant in North America.
Once you have selected your territory, signed all the necessary franchise documents you are ready to begin your training program that gets broken up into the following stages.
Stage 1: Business Development
Office selection, business and marketing plan development, territory assessment, key contact research
Stage 2: Computer Training
Each new office upon receiving their office equipment goes through a comprehensive computer system skill development training plan. Each program is tailored around the skill level of the new consultant. Ongoing computer training is continuous and always available
Stage 3: Consultant Training
Soon after coming on board you will also receive your consultant training manuals that are over 7 binders of detailed information to guide through operating your new business. These binders cover all aspects of your business and many offices reference them regularly years after coming on board. It is also during this time that a representative from head office will visit your new business location and over a 3 or 4 day period review each binder in detail.
Stage 4: Field Training
During this stage of our training program you will spend time in the field with either a Master Franchise or head office representative learning and watching about how to conduct your business on a day by day basis. This allows the new consultant to review what they have learned to date, review their initiation business and marketing plans and to give them the confidence to begin operating their business. In most cases a new office will already have begun to receive inquiries from potential clients and these new leads are used as training tools as they continue to ramp up their business.
Stage 5: Follow up Training
During the first 90 days each new lead as required is reviewed together with the consultant and a representative from head office as an ongoing learning tool to developing their skills as a consultant. After the 90 days there is an detailed evaluation that is conducted and the business is reviewed. Ongoing support is continuous throughout the first year of operation as representatives from head office make themselves available to conduct additional training as required and to review complicated files. Each opportunity is used to continue the development of the skills of the newer consultants.
In addition to the five stage training program our software systems include a secured community forum used by head office and our offices to share and post new articles on all aspects of the business. This community forum allows our offices to share their experiences and to offer advice and information on changes in the industry and new marketing programs that are creating positive results. This benefits all offices as the community continues to grow and contribute.
