This program is at the core of our corporate mission at LDS & Associates. We want those Trainers who use our materials to be successful — and to come back to us again and again for their client products and future professional education!
Professional education for any consultant is vital: it’s the key to successful training outcomes and for maintaining a strong, competitive ‘edge’. Our strongest levels of support go to trainers who complete at least one tier of professional continuing education available through LDS & Associates:
Your Permanent PT Discounts Start here!
Completing Accent 101 or Level 1 opens the door to our Preferred Trainer program. This entitled trainers to a 5% discount (often more!) on products in our catalog. This 5% is logged in our system. Additionally, you can update your webstore profile - or we will – to reflect your new Preferred Trainer Status. When that happens, you now see the Preferred Trainer WebStore pages. Your discounts are clearly visible on nearly all of the products in our WebStore, including professional education:
Add to Your Permanent PT Discounts with Every Level Completed.
For any additional training levels on the LDS Training Continuum, professionals get an additional — permanent — 5 % added to their savings.
Calendar Year-Specific Discounts Build Your Profit Margin.
Annual Continuing Education:
PTs save an annual (must be renewed each calendar year) 5% when they attend other training opportunities at LDS:
Such events are noted in the program descriptions given to PTs. Here are some examples:
- Reauditing a onsite workshop or online series
- One online event in the Unique Webinar Series
Major Account Holders:
We’d like to further increase our Trainers’ competitive edge by extending an additional 10% discount when product purchases for clients hits the $2000.00 mark during a calendar year (refigured annually).Successful PTs who run 2-3 small/midsize group programs or who see 7+ individuals annually know that’s an easy target to reach!
How do we set this up?
The Optional PT Network Registration
LDS course participants are introduced to the PT Network upon
completion of any training level (onsite or online). This is an optional
network. Our longstanding Preferred Trainers (those who have completed one
or more LDS levels
of training) can set
up their profile
here.
This login is independent of the WebStore, (which is accessed by anyone visiting our site). Once your login is established, you can visit many private, Preferred Trainer (PT) pages exclusively designed to support you in your business efforts.
PT Benefits
Registration in our PT area will enable registered Preferred
Trainers (PTs) to take
part in some exciting, new programs:
Find a Trainer
Since our 2004 website expansion that opened direct communication with corporate
and self-study customers, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of
such users to our site. Many seek our assistance in finding Trainers for areas
LDS & Associates itself does not cover (nationally and internationally).
We prefer to limit these referrals to Preferred Trainers who:
- make a concerted effort to stay current in the field,
- see this population as a significant or evolving focus of their business practice, and who
- routinely use LDS catalog materials for their clients
Our geographic locator will allow corporations and individuals to see a list and descriptions of trainers in their area. Trainers can customize a short descriptor highlighting their training strengths! Viewers can opt to contact you directly with their questions.
The Option to Become a Featured Trainer
Based on their training levels and continuing support of our products, we will invite a more select group of PTs to be Featured Trainers on the Find a Trainer pages. This added exposure is available by invitation only, but without any additional fees to the PT. Featured Trainers can add their logo and an expanded description, enabling them to market their services even more competitively! Take a look at one of these!
PT Forums
The PT Forums (message boards) are available for trainers to brainstorm and share
tips and tricks for successful accent training. Accent
Training, Accent Testing, ESL Issues, The Business of Doing Business are
just a few of the categories open for discussion. Expanded FAQs
answering common questions about the
Forum
and
its
operation are also available.
PT Accents
We have a Preferred
Trainer edition of our newsletters that is available by email. PTs
sign up for that here. Editions are stored in the PT
Member Pages. PT Accents focuses
the issues that the more sophisticated trainer is hungry for: the 'business
of doing business', current research we'd like to share, training event information
for PT-only events, polls to determine trends, etc.
