San Francisco, CA, August 19--Trainingspace, a division of Bridgeway Media Group and Design Center Solutions, has signed its first Trainingspace charter member – Penninsula Floors, Inc. and JPS Surface Solutions, the largest privately owned residential contract flooring company in the country. Under the agreement Trainingspace will provide its e-learning Design Consultant and Product Knowledge training series to all of PFI/JPS’s employees. Each student will be provided with their own user name and password where they will be tested and graded after completing each course. Reports are available to management that track usage and scoring for each student. Courses may be taken as many times as desired. The Design Consultant Training Series consists of three courses (Design Fundamentals, Interpersonal Skills and Upgrading the Sale) with a total of 129 lessons. The three courses instruct design consultants on the fundamentals of conducting a design appointment, upgrading their sales, design basics and interpersonal skills. In addition, Trainingspace has utilized a team of experts in a variety of fields to create valuable lesson plans such as working with different cultures in the design center and how a design consultant can be more culturally sensitive.

The curriculum covers installation, product styles and colors, disclosure and maintenance issues as well as tips and strategies for upgrading the sale in that specific category.
