You are not being asked to design a training; only to discuss how you would implement it. Please feel free to draw on your personal experience with effective training implementation, as it applies, and share that in your response.In your response, consider how you will implement product trainings for this team in a way that considers the various time zones, languages, technology and interactivity concerns. There is no one right answer. However, your response should include rationale for each decision point.*The ScenarioYou are the head of the global sales team. All sales representatives work virtually from their home offices in different countries across time zones. The team consists of 25 people in the U.S.A, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, England, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, and Kenya. All speak some English, but not all are proficient, based on your experience with communications with the team.*The Needs AnalysisA company analysis of top-selling fidgets and the highest-grossing sales by representative shows that the representatives who understand the many different features of the fidgets sell more units.The analysis clearly indicates that there is a need for some sales representatives to better understand the features of each fidget.*Your Preliminary ThoughtsYour own analysis of working with your team is that training is needed to review the features of new products as they launch. You also have found that connecting with sales representatives across time zones and languages has been challenging. There is no one good time to meet, especially because sales representatives are all part-time with no set working hours. There are also internet connectivity issues that make live virtual events sometimes difficult. However, you do find that the team often has many questions they want to discuss live. They are less likely to send their questions over email. They work on commission, and are, therefore, quite motivated to find ways to sell more products._______________________________________________________________________________________________Discussion #2:Initial PostAfter reading our materials this week, reflect on your own experience as both a training participant and as a facilitator by:-Discussing 3-5 facilitation practices that you find particularly valuable as a learner.-Evaluating your own current skills with facilitation, whether for training or meetings. Specify at least two facilitation practices that you do well.-Reflecting on at least 2 facilitation effective practices that you need to improve or gain more practice, and discuss how you plan on improving.***Please provide a one page response for each discussion post.***
