Entelechy, Inc. is based in Merrimack, NH, USA
For 13 years, Entelechy has applied its proven process to help our clients achieve high performance:
Problem Identification - We begin by defining your business needs not your training needs! If we believe that training may not be the best solution at this time, we ll tell you saving you time, money, and frustration. Entelechy performs a targeted needs assessment to clearly identify your challenges and their root causes.
Customizing a Solution - Using our proven High Performance modules as the basis for the training solution, Entelechy will design and develop a customized program to meet your company s unique requirements. Development from an existing framework of courseware saves time and investment.
Solution Implementation - Entelechy uses senior instructors to provide engaging and stimulating on-site delivery. Alternatively, we train your trainers to deliver the training using our rigorous certification process.
Ensuring Training Sticks - Performance improvement requires behavioral change, sometimes a difficult process. Using conference calls, meetings or facilitated sessions, Entelechy performs after-training coaching and assessments to ensure that the training has stuck . Over a set period, ongoing check-ins help participants integrate the desired results of the training on-the-job and achieve the results our clients demand.
----------
Entelechy s Unique Approach - Address the Real Problem. Before proposing a training solution, Entelechy will thoroughly assess our client s business problem. This enables us to uncover root causes and propose effective solutions whether those solutions involve training or not.
Customization. Our clients want solutions that are customized to the unique needs of their business, their systems, and their teams for effectiveness. Our clients believe that generic training results in generic changes; customized training focuses the behavior change AND ensures that what s learned in training is immediately transferable to the job.
Client Ownership of Materials. What does it mean to own the material your training partner customizes and creates with you? It means our clients have ultimate control over the final materials to use and modify as they see fit without additional licensing costs or ongoing payments for materials.
Behavior Change that Sticks. When trying to make changes in the behavior of employees, training on its own may not live up to its potential. Entelechy employs a proven process that takes into account the role of managers after training as well as the power of after-training coaching to make behavior change stick.
Experience. Entelechy has been successfully helping clients address a wide variety of employee performance challenges since 1992 in a variety of industries from high tech to social services, from healthcare to telecommunications to financial services and beyond. Additionally, all of our staff bring significant, diverse, and real-world business and training experience with them.
Return on Investment. Entelechy s approach is centered in providing tangible return on investment. We have helped clients achieve improved effectiveness which has translated not only into improved morale and job satisfaction, but measurably increased revenue and reduced costs.
Entelechy has been offering customizable courses in management, sales, customer service, and training since 1992. Check out the many case studies featuring satisfied clients.

Increased competition has given customers more choices than they have ever had before. Good customer sales and service have become the norm in the past 15 years. As a result, customers expect more. In a competitive environment, we need to be better than the competition.
Each customer needs to feel that he or she has all of your attention as if he or she is the only person you are talking with this whole day.

Positioning the Sale


: Positioning the Sale
Overview
Why do some sales professionals sell more than others? Simple: they know what their customers need and they satisfy it; they position their product or service to meet the explicit needs of the customer.
Less effective sales professionals drone on about the features and so-called benefits of their product or service. But the fact is, a feature is ONLY a benefit if the customer agrees that it s a benefit. Features that the customer doesn t value may actually LOWER from the perceived value of the product or service!
In this module, we ll teach you how to position the sale, satisfy the customer, and increase your sales revenues!
Providing Products to Customers

Customer focus is NOT simply a matter of providing outstanding service in response to a customer s stated needs. Customer-focused professionals listen for unstated customer needs and are able to position additional products and services that may benefit the customer.

High Performance Training
Delivering High Performance Training


: Delivering High Performance Training
Overview
It s been said that the best training design in the world won t stand up to a trainer with poor training skills. At the same time, we ve all witnessed trainers who appear to be expert in the content AND who can present the material so participants get it; who have theoretical knowledge but know what it s like to be in the trenches; who can control the training and the typical challenges yet seem human and approachable; who clearly have a mission yet can flex to meet the needs of the group.
Clearly these trainers have mastered the art of more...
Instructional Design


: Instructional Design

Performance Consulting


: Overview
I need a day-long course that will help motivate my staff.
We should build a WBT module on that; I think we can use some of the PowerPoint slides we already have.
Training often fails before the first word is written or the first draft is created. The reason it fails is that it doesn t increase the performance of individuals so they can contribute (i.e., more, better, faster) to the success of the business. The training wasn t designed to address a specific business challenge or opportunity; as a result, participants consider it — at best — a fun course and — at worst — a more...
