Anne Bilka

My background is primarily in Employee Communication and Project Management. I have Bachelor of Journalism degree in Advertising and a MBA. In April of 2007, I started a brand new role at Maritz - and that is a Training Manager role. My focus will be to train several different audiences (Sales People, RFP Responders, and Operations Staff) on the various aspects of our solutions and product lines. Traditionally, there has been a communication gap between the Product Development group and the sales team. In my new role, I need to close that gap quickly.
I need to get the Sales Team up to speed on all of our products so that they can better articulate our value and point of view so that they can "sell more stuff." What I am hoping to get out of Extreme Learning is a few ideas on how to break through all of the company/industry noise. I would love to come away with some new tools that will fit in my strategy of clear, concise and real-time training and information.
