Productions Plus takes training seriously. Sending talent out into the field without proper training is like asking them to demo a machine blindfolded — with their hands tied behind their back!

Here are Productions Plus’s top 5 training tips for a successful demonstration program.

1. Use Certified Training Facilitators

We have certified training facilitators on staff. They know how to customize trainings for the brand and for the specific program being executed. Using a certified trainer along with a brand representative ensures that everything from customer engagement and sales to brand history and product knowledge will be covered.

2. Train In-Person Whenever Possible

Face to face, hands-on training is always best. Not only do you get to know your demonstrators on a more personal level, but they also get to know you and the product they will be demoing on a more personal level. This builds trust quickly. It also allows the talent to use the product and work out any kinks before stepping into a store.

3. Give Talent Brand Knowledge

A demonstrator needs to know about your company. Sharing the history of the brand and its core mottoes provides a retail product demonstrator a more intimate look behind the scenes, which results in them becoming more invested in the demo program.

4. Show Talent How to Do It

If you can’t hold your training in person, you should still consider how you can show the talent how the product is used. A presentation deck is not the same as a live video conference with you. Many brands also send the talent the product ahead of time so they can walk them through its functionality during a conference call in a hands-on way.

5. Keep Talent on Their Toes

Your demonstrators are out there in the field representing your brand. You want to be sure they know how to handle tough questions, and that they retained all the information you provided. Consider sending your talent a quiz to see where you may need to retrain or put additional focus.

Let Us Help You

For our in-store product demonstrators, Productions Plus also holds regional training intensives with our certified trainers to teach additional customer engagement and sales education. To learn more about our customized trainings, contact us.

Workshop open to both existing and hopeful auto show narrators; led by seasoned trainers and skilled narrators

Productions Plus is known for revolutionizing how the automotive world employs talent and is the training leader among automotive talent agencies. We first made our mark on the industry by pioneering the now-ubiquitous role of the product specialist when our founder introduced the concept of technical training for auto show models. Today, training is just as important as we continue to make our mark – and help our clients make theirs – with our unmatched capabilities and training offerings.

As part of those unique offerings, Productions Plus held its first all-brand Narration Workshop in January. While narration is part of the annual training we provide for many of our client brands, this class was the first to be offered “on the road” during the auto show season. Held around the Washington Auto Show in D.C., the workshop was open and free of charge to all P+ auto show team members interested in learning more about narration – either as a veteran fine-tuning their skills or a newer team member hoping to one day narrate on the auto show floor.

Auto show narrators must not only be expertly versed in their brand and its vehicle line-up, they must also be skilled communicators able to engage an audience, entertain a crowd and quickly adapt to feedback and audience participation. It’s one of the toughest jobs to land on an auto show team, and it’s also one of the most coveted: narrators are among the most highly-compensated product specialists. Workshop programming covered best practices, including bi-lingual narration, and optional live practice by product specialists who wanted feedback and critique. More than 20 product specialists attended the workshop led by P+’s Director of Training and longtime narrator and host Matt Troyer, veteran auto show narrators Sherhara Williams and Saul Ibarra, and P+ Talent Division Group Director and entertainment industry veteran Halie Rosenberg.
