Top Ten Reasons to Get Education Now (from ESTA)

1. The economy’s making it harder for CI companies to earn a living. It’s more important than ever to be really good at everything you do.

2. For the first time in our industry there’s a fully developed, logical and professional education program being made available to you on an ongoing, local basis.

3. Education will increase your company’s efficiency. Keep more of your billable dollars.

4. What better time to learn than now, when you have some level of available time and resources to devote to education.

5. Good education can take your company to the next level of quality, no matter where you currently stand in the quality scale.

6. As good as you are, there’s always something new to learn (or brush-up on).

7. Even if you personally know everything there is to know about all aspects of CI systems, do all your employees? And won’t they appreciate education?

8. Education will improve your company’s system design and installation skills. Better designs and better installs leads to happier clients and more referrals.

9. Sales and Customer Service education are critical for small, service-oriented businesses. Get it here, from us.

10. General business skills training is vital as well. We’ll provide this too.

Seven Semi-Top Reasons

1. Don’t just sit there and wait for the end of the world; get out and do something about your future. NOW!

2. Your staff will feel better when they learn something new (It works for dogs, horses and hamsters, so should work for them as well. Maybe you could get’em a giant McDonalds Habitrail too…)

3. Enhance the metrics by which you judge the value of employees. Incorporate their successful course attendance and completion into their raises, etc. Or you could just give’em a hearty slap on the back and a package of Double Stuff Oreo’s!

4. Impress your clients; get a gaggle of fancy schmancy looking Diplomas to hang on your wall. We personally have 98.6 Degrees from the University of Fahrenheit.

5. Don’t get left behind as technology is changing at an ever increasing pace.

6. How do you know how much you really don’t know? Come find out! You might be surprised. Either way.

7. Join our growing community of CI professionals and exchange ideas, tricks, knowledge, war stories and jokes about your competition. This could be the perfect reason, all by itself…
