SureSpeak is a web based coaching platform aimed at solving the current inefficiencies and costs associated with corporate training. The Problem Companies spend billions of dollars each year on training and coaching-in 2006 over $129 billion.
However, this training is often ineffective or very expensive or both. Ineffective-Studies show that after 4 weeks, 85% of what was learned in a classroom setting is forgotten.
Additionally, teaching interpersonal and communication skills in a classroom environment is rarely effective. Lastly, scheduling conflicts often cause inefficiency and delay in connecting a person in need of coaching and a coach.
Expensive – Companies spend money on travel, lodging, meals and other related costs in order to get people to training sessions. Companies also deploy e-learning solutions which offer little or no interaction or practice and suffer from miserable completion rates.
Additionally, current market conditions have caused the majority of enterprises to cut training and travel budgets significantly and look for cost effective means to deliver training enterprise-wide.
