Editor's Notes
- #3 In a study conducted by Red Thread Research, an innovative thought leadership company in the HR tech space based in North America, lead researchers to define the skills needed to future-proof L&D. Of the 7, “Managing relationships” was one. The research team defined the Managing Relationships skills set as skills to build and maintain relationships, internal and external to the L&D function. In Marketing, we manage relationships by studying the motivations of those we want to influence to act. As a marketer for Kallidus, I study why you have chosen us as a provider for your organization. Then I take that knowledge and I map out the discovery process and buying process and create useful content to build trust between our company and your company but especially YOU. As marketers, we don’t sell product, we appeal to your senses, your feelings, and your motivations and, if we do that correctly, then we have built a relationship that will make you more inclined to buy the products we sell versus those sold by someone. So, how can you, as an L&D leader, leverage your marketing skills to influence your stakeholders to believe in and actively support L&D initiatives?

- #5 “Have you ever thought of yourself as a marketer?” Probably not. But as a marketer, I know my job is to convince people of a message. I have learned from talking to our customers that you, too, spend much of your time convincing people about the importance of investing in learning and development. In today’s micro session, I’ll review some of the tools I use to do my job and how you can adapt them to do yours.

- #9 You have different ways to influence others to believe in your message. Every person is uniquely motivated by different objectives and values. This slide shows you an adapted version of Robert Cialdini’s 6 principles of influence. Over time, a 7th “unity” has been added. I encourage you to join our session on Thursday to get a full understanding of all 7 but for now I will focus on just a few: Social proof: Daily, I write messages for our Linkedin feed to help connect our community around the messages that make Kallidus a unique provider. We focus on making L&D easier for all involved, empowering the manager, and providing useful reporting that the business can use. I am most successful when I can tell that story through your voice….our customers. Why? Because people want to be aligned with what others are doing so, hearing about how our customers use our products to make L&D easy, empower the manager, and use reporting for business outcomes, is compelling. Authority: Again, to reinforce our messages, we provide you with data and research proving that what we say is true and can be supported by regulatory bodies and leaders in the L&D. We work to incorporate that information in what we share with you to earn your trust. To read more about these principles, https://www.influenceatwork.com/7-principles-of-persuasion/
