I have been watching this thread/citehr since the last 4 months from now. Dozens of postings asking for free lance soft skills trainers by various individuals and companies came up. Promptly soft skills trainer community responded with all enthusiasm. But not even one response, even for courtesy reached. I do not know really if anybody got benefitted anywhere?:?:

Ladies and gentlemen,
This is the oldest trick in the book.
More than half of the posts are designed for training aggregators and training companies to collect trainer details en masse.
Just take a look at over 75% of such posts. They are badly written as if the guy was in a hurry to get to the loo or else...
My suggestion to the many trainers who I've met (that's right - physically met in the real world) through this truly wonderful forum always is to check the email extension. If a 'TRAINING COMPANY' is posting with a gmail address, usually it means one of 3 things:
1. It is NOT a training company that has bothered to invest in its basic brand i.e. a domain name with accompanying email addresses (Rs 5000 per year at most)
2. Its an employee of a legitimate training company who is aware of the company's client's training requirements. And, like a true and loyal employee, he/she goes about creating a gmail identity in an effort to grab that training for him/herself to make a quick lousy bucks. Usually, they'll have a couple of their mates in on it to front the client etc
3. Its a person from a rival training company (company B) who's got wind of company A's impending project, and intends to gather a whole lot trainer info and approach company A's client purporting it to be a 'cold call' from company B.
Very rarely, is it a legit post by someone who truly is a good salesperson and genuinely has a project on hand. And, in most circumstances, they will almost always give some hint as to the assignment's nature, the client's industry type etc...
And, in any case, if a training post can't even have their own domain name (a fundamental and minimal expense), what sort of clients must they be able to procure for their trainers? I shudder to think!
But, like always, the forces of market and the forces of nature are brilliant at finding their equilibrium - its just that some trainers learn the hard way - unfortunately!
I know my post reads very cynical. But, being from the industry, I couldn't watch the pain of the trainers who posted earlier and just ignore it. Somewhere I felt that I owed them an explanation.
Take care and Have Fun!
