 As training professionals, we like to say…

 What C’s would rather hear

Primary business driver 

"We’ve been delivering XYZ training using instructor-led classes. We know we can reach more people by conducting live e-learning classes."

"We’ve been delivering XYZ training using instructor-led classes to teach about 230 people per year. By moving the classes to live e-learning delivery, we should be able to reach more than 1,200 of our reps without increasing delivery costs and, in fact, decreasing travel-related expenses. We’ll get more training for each training development dollar spent."
Decrease our operating expenses
 "E-learning simulations will help our sales reps understand their jobs and our unique sales process much better."

 "Using modest projections and looking at case studies for other sales situations, we feel that e-learning simulations will result in closing $______ in additional sales next quarter."
 Increase our revenue
 "E-learning will help us deliver training just-in-time and just enough."
 
"The knowledge of our employees is what keeps us ahead of our competition. In this fast-paced business, e-learning will help us ensure that our employees have the right knowledge and at the right time." [Use a specific example of a particularly difficult process, procedure, or concept from your own company situation to illustrate.]
