ACT 1, SCENE 1

Hi boss, I am having a bunch of freshers out

here. Absolutely clueless about our methodologies and

work flow.

ACT 1, SCENE 2

Obvious, train them. Schedule one hour training daily and teach those guys.

ACT 1, SCENE 3

I can’t spend my time on that. Selling is my

job. Training people is not my job.

Selling is your job, and training to sell is

ALSO your job. BTW, I have revised

your Key Result Areas.

ACT 1, SCENE 4

Train these 100 odd people?

ACT 1, SCENE 5

Before the new year?

ACT 1, SCENE 6

Training is not my job.

The consequence?

Another training session? Yawn!!

This job SUCKS. Where’s the next

interview?

There comes the Head Mistress. Is this school or work place?

Why can’t they just let me learn at my

own pace?

Wait a minute,

Did you see yourself among them?

That should just be an illusion.

Let’s get back. The story continues…

ACT 2, SCENE 4

She spends one hour for training, and the

rest six hours to prepare. The sales

statistics have already started to show.

ACT 2, SCENE 5

I suck at this.

All they do is to sit and dream

I should run an exam to check if they

actually paid attention

Oops, I better not mention this to my manager, or else he will revise my KRAs

again.

We have to sit extra hours to complete

our work. Long training hours.

Click n Learn

ACT 4, SCENE 1

Alright. I have the PPTs I made when I had to train them

before. I’ll just pass it on to them, and they

can learn by themselves.

ACT 4, SCENE 2

The file size. It’s difficult for me to email it every time.

Do I have to re send it every time I make a petty modification?

Snorrrr…

I am not sea sick or air sick, but I am definitely getting PPT SICK!

ACT 4, SCENE 2


How can I keep track of the progress. Who has completed, and who hasn’t touched it yet?


Too much info

ACT 5, SCENE 1

Something ( ) changed in the way the company trained its people.

ACT 5, SCENE 1

Hey !!!The trick did work.

ACT 5, SCENE 2

Interesting !!!No travel costs for training.

They seem to like it too.

ACT 5, SCENE 3

Cool, I can update my content as and when

I want.

I get a monthly update on my team’s

progress.

I barely spend extra time on this. Now

training sounds fun.

I can blend this with face to face training, whenever I want to.

ACT 5, SCENE 4

Cool, this stuff sure looks interesting

enough to spare an hour.

Awesome, I can now learn things at my

own pace.

The exam does not look `schoolish’. The

machine tells me why I am wrong.

Thank god! No one’s teaching me. It’s like

do-it-yourself
