Beyond Product &
Project Delivery Training…
Drive Project Revenue & Success by Expanding your Delivery Teams’ Capabilities
Your revenue growth and profitability is dependent upon efficiently delivering projects that meet customer expectations, are completed on time and on budget. You have new hires or existing professional services experts with years of delivery experience and possibly even Microsoft product knowledge as well. What many Microsoft partner delivery teams lack is the ability to resolve conflicts, manage client emotions and fears, get buy in and upsell. This Neural Impact program is a series of bi-weekly workshops with Business Central consultant recruits designed to help them develop a set of standardized project delivery strategies and techniques that support value creation and differentiation.
Program participants will attend 4 live sessions remotely facilitated by Neural Impact experts and apply learnings between sessions.
Videos, tools, and content will be available for participants for self-study and workbooks will be provided to complete homework. All self-study and homework will be checked for completeness, and instructors will review a sample homework submission at the beginning of each training session to allow participants to validate their results.
Self-study and homework time commitment of 2-3 hours per session.
Cost per partner: $x,xxx
