Most lifelong learning programs sell contracts, but many are finding that their efforts conflict with other responsibilities, and that the expectations of clients are high. You need to find out how to develop clients, utilize a salesperson, build a product base, and other key issues. That's why LERN has created the [Contract Training Institute](http://www.lern.org/institutes/contract-training.cfm) (CTI), which is being held this year in April in Fort Lauderdale. After attending the CTI, you will have the information to be able to: • Develop a needs assessment tool for businesses • Price contract training. • Promote and market contract training. • Enhance your own personal selling skills. • Budget the area of contract training for your institution. You also have the opportunity to take an exam to become a Certified Contract Trainer (CCT). You can take the exam on Friday morning following the Institute or you can take the exam at a later date at your office with a local proctor. Are you interested in seeing an example of the type of information shared at the CTI? Download our free white paper today!
