ACADA is proud to announce our new 2022 Skills Development Program. Participants will have access to reduced pricing for training courses arranged and executed by ACADA through its partnership with Training Works Inc. Earlier this year, we launched a survey to determine your training needs. The four most common areas of skills development needs identified were: Business Development, Leadership, Cyber Security, and Human Resources.
Today we are launching three training initiatives starting in March 2022 based on the feedback we received. More training initiatives to follow in the coming months.
ACADA in conjunction with Training Works and Brendan Dunphy (formerly of Cyber NB) will offer a 3-session security training course – Cyber Security 101. Throughout the 3 x 1-hour sessions, we will explore key strategies and activities to help keep your company safe in today’s environment. Topics explored include password management, basic cybersecurity tools, how to use the web safely within your organization, phishing and malware, securing your devices, handling breaches, ransomware, backups, and certifications.
Cost: ACADA members $600.00 (non-members $1100.00)
Dates: March 25, April 1, and April 8 – 1 pm AST
Business Development: Selling Strategies and Virtual Selling
ACADA in conjunction with Training Works and partner Sandler Training of Halifax will offer a 5-session sales training course called Selling Strategies and Virtual Selling. Throughout the 5 x 2-hour sessions, we will discover strategies and techniques to begin to implement a formalized selling process for you and your sales teams. Utilizing social media tools and setting clear expectations with our prospects and clients to avoid “unpaid consulting,” and gaining control of sales cycles will also be a focus. We will begin to understand how to engage in conversation that focuses on the prospect, and dramatically increase the likelihood of positioning ourselves as an Advisor (rather than a vendor) to new prospects early in the process, resulting in more successful outcomes.
