Why would Dale Carnegie Training offer a BID at NO CHARGE?



What is a Business Improvement Discussion (BID)?


The BID is an assessment tool used to pinpoint training areas demonstrated to have the most dramatic effect upon company performance.  It is conducted in a fun, interactive 90-minute format, and facilitated by a Dale Carnegie specialist.

How can my company benefit from a BID?

There are 3 major benefits companies experience from conducting a BID:

1.  GET YOUR PEOPLE FOCUSED ON ANSWERS INSTEAD OF ON PROBLEMS.  Today, we are overwhelmed by negative information.  It's easy to focus on what's wrong, instead of how to fix it.  Dale Carnegie's first principle "Don't criticize, condemn, or complain," is often misinterpreted to mean everything must always be happy and upbeat.  Dale Carnegie was a realist and understood that business and life will have obstacles and troubles.  Sticking our collective heads in the sand is not the answer.  Nor is a "chicken little" attitude that permeates much of today's society.  When we focus on ways to defeat the challenge and overcome the obstacles, new energy is unleashed.  People and businesses can be carried to new heights.  It begins with focusing on the solution.

2.  GET YOUR PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS.  As outside facilitators, we are able to involve your associates at a greater level than before.  They appreciate the involvment and THEY DO MOST OF THE TALKING.  Your business gets to take advantage of the "popcorn effect."  As barriers come down your employees relax, perceptions deepen and ideas begin to feed off one another.  This way, companies often get solutions and insights they might not have gotten otherwise.

3.  YOU FIND OUT WHO IS READY TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.  (Sometimes it's not the people you expect.)  To succeed in business today, it's vital "to have the right people on the bus in the right seats."  How do you know?  A BID is an excellent way to get a feel for who should get off "the bus," and who should move to a different seat on "the bus."  When you "have the right people on the bus, with the right skills, in the right seats," the trip is easier, more enjoyable and ultimately, more profitable for everyone.

Why would Dale Carnegie Training offer a BID at NO CHARGE?
