KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Trainual is a 100% inbound company, centring most of its marketing digitally and around organic and educational content.
- Trainual is a business playbook, it’s your modern business training model.
- It was when running his first business in high school, a video production company, that Chris started learning how businesses work.
- When Chris realised that logistics and processes were industry agnostic, it started the beginnings of Trainual.
- To scale, bandwidth, delegation and consistency are the core competencies needed.
- Trainual allows business knowledge from the bottom to the top, to be retained, regardless of staff turnover.
- Organising chaos has always been Chris’ strong suit. He can take large amounts of input at speed and then compartmentalise and prioritise to then move forward strategically. He attributes his ability to scale and grow to this strength.
- Context, chaos and clarity are the three-step framework Chris’ used when he was consulting clients and something he still works with today.
- The abundance of opportunities in business creates chaos. This is a good thing; you just need to learn how to work with it.
- Look for themes in your feedback. This allows you to recognise the big opportunities and where to focus your energy.
- Making a product compelling was Chris’ first aim, to make it so good that the product sells itself. This, alongside creative marketing, is the core reason Trainual have been able to have revenue growth purely from inbound sales.
- Some of the creative marketing Trainual have utilised are social proof, helpful content and webinars.
