o  We operate in a 5-point differentiator model that consists of

  • List and promote training programs in the portal
  • Collect online and offline payments
  • Provide marketing-free, informative content to visitors through blogs and articles
  • Help corporate with training outsourcing services
  • Provide a true and neutral training marketplace

  In each of the above 5-points, we are very unique again.

For e.g. "Helping corporate with Training outsourcing services".  Here, we do not have any trainers of our own. We use our network of branded training companies to help the corporate. This ensures that we are very objective and neutral in our approach to get the 'right' trainer to the client. Our transparent way of doing this with our partner network is truly appreciated both by client and training partners.

Another e.g. "Providing content to visitors". How many portals you can find that offers such marketing free, neutral content from subject matter experts in the field ? This is done purely for the benefit of the seekers. We believe people come to a portal not to just to book something. They would like to also know/understand about certain things before they do a transaction.

The major challenges BookMyTraining  faced while dealing with client

 We never had so many challenges with individuals (B2C). They all liked the concept and very supportive.We did face some challenges w.r.t. Corporate Clients for the training sourcing services. The challenges were mostly during the initial days when we had to convince the Corporate that we are really what we talking about - A True Training Marketplace. Being a start-up with only few months into the business, they were not convinced easily. So we were given rare to find trainings to source trainers for. We took that as a challenge and proved ourselves multiple times. Due to which we are also getting good support from our existing client base. Things are better now and we are getting a constant flow of corporate enquiries for sourcing of trainings.

Competition

Again, the competition is from various different segments as mentioned above.  Such competition surely impact us but since our USP (5-point differentiator model) provides us a solid as well as highly scalable business model, we are more concentrating on brining additional value to our audience rather than worry about combating the competition at this time.

The major challenges you face

Awareness creation is our biggest challenge.  Whoever knows about bookmytrainings.com feel this is a much needed portal and are happy to visit our portal regularly to check out things.  They also do some word-of-mouth marketing. But there are so many people who do not, yet know about bookmytrainings. Our key challenge is to create the awareness and reach to everyone in India.
