Hitting the Cycle in Primavera P6 Training

I have been on vacation the past week but there is no so thing as a true vacation when you own your own business. I delivered two online P6 training sessions while “on vacation” and worked on a construction claim as well. I like to stay busy. Best of all, our firm managed to “hit the cycle” in P6 training reservations. By that I mean we booked clients for our 4-hour, 8-hour, 16-hour and 24-hour P6 training programs. And this does not include private P6 training sessions we will be delivering in Tulsa, OK and Rogers, AR.

One person called us for P6 training because another training firm had cancelled their class in San Francisco at the last minute. He was flying in from Seattle so obviously that was not a good situation. While we could not offer training on the same dates we managed to schedule him for our 3-day class at the end of this month. This is actually not too unusual for us. A new client comes to us because someone else could not deliver the training they needed.

Every month we schedule quite a few P6 classes online and in-person in our offices near Sacramento. Part of our philosophy is that you create demand for something by making it readily available. In an era when someone can buy a product online today and have it delivered tomorrow, the time frame for satisfaction has been shortened dramatically. 

Okay then. When you absolutely positively need Primavera P6 training right away, call us!  

 

 

Have You Visited our YouTube Channel?

Our YouTube channel contains several short videos explaining some of the features of Primavera P6 such as creating portfolios, lookahead filters and baselines. These videos were recorded using the same GoToMeeting software that we use in our live online training programs. However, we do not use any videos in our online training. These classes are always live! The YouTube videos are intended to provide snippets of our training programs only.

Here is the link to our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjqAoV6JaNCh7ld2mIvgfdQ?feature=mhee

Nevertheless, we are exploring the option of offering our 4-hour Primavera P6 Quick Start training program in a video format. This would be a series of roughly 15 video lessons that would cover the same subject matter as our live Quick Start P6 program, with the option to call us with any questions up to 30 days later.

My feeling is that our Primavera P6 Quick Start program is an introduction to P6 that would translate well to video lessons. And by making it available on video, clients could access the lessons online whenever they want. I really enjoy teaching the online classes because it is a great opportunity to meet people. Still, the videos would be very convenient.

We are exploring a couple of pricing models for the Primavera P6 Quick Start video program:

  • $200 for access to the online videos, but no live follow-up support
  • $300 for access to the online videos, with 30 days of live support

Our live Primavera P6 Quick Start program is $300, by the way. There will most likely be a limit to accessing the videos online to ensure than the videos are not being watched by people who did not purchase the program. For example, we might have a “time bank” whereby each lesson can only be viewed twice.

So, what do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
