Corporate training: a guide for pros

What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.

Offering corporate training

You deliver corporate workshops on topics such as communication, compliance or software, tailored to each company's goals. Your listing should show the topics you train on and the companies and teams you have worked with.

What customers ask

  • Can you make a workshop for our team of twenty people on giving feedback?
  • Can you train us on our own software?
  • Do you provide materials and a follow-up plan?
  • Can you deliver the training on site and online?
  • How do you show that the training worked?

How to win the job

  • On the first call, ask the company's goal, the team size, the topic, the timeline and who makes the decision.
  • Offer a short discovery meeting, and explain how the workshop will be designed from it.
  • Show a sample workshop outline with the timing, activities and practice blocks explained.
  • Share a short example of a workshop exercise, with the reason it fits the topic.
  • Put the goals, session plan, materials, follow-up plan and cancellation terms in the quote.
  • Say how you measure impact, such as a short check before and after or a follow-up review, so the client knows what to expect.

What to put on your profile

  • Your subject expertise and training experience, such as the topics you know and the credentials you hold.
  • The workshop topics you deliver, such as communication, compliance, software or leadership.
  • Photos of workshops you have delivered, with no client names or logos unless they agree.
  • The formats you offer, such as on-site workshops, online sessions or follow-up programs.
  • Reviews from clients that name the workshop and the result, once they agree to share them.

Follow-up that helps the customer

  • After the workshop, suggest a short follow-up session at a set interval and the date to plan it.
  • Offer a leader workshop for managers when the company's goal fits, and let them choose.
  • Recommend a refresher or a new topic once the team has used the first skills, and let them decide.

Licenses and permits

No license is usually required to deliver corporate training privately. Keep your credentials, workshop records and references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need. Compliance topics can have their own rules, so check the regulator for that topic before you deliver it.

Questions

Do I need a degree to deliver corporate training?

Not usually, but companies look for subject expertise and a track record, so describe your credentials and the workshops you have delivered.

Can I teach online and in person?

Yes. Say which options you offer so companies know what to expect before they choose you.
