It's one of my dream jobs....

I was a corporate Trainer for Macromedia (99 to 01) and Corel (02 - 03) one of my former Macromedia associates started a company called R3Center (http://www.r3center.com)

Basically, we are a not for profit company that does commercial work to pay for the school side we do.

I am on a pilot program right now for the commercial side for Wal-Mart. We are travelling to 100 Stores in the next 7 weeks to train their associates in the Electronics department on some of the sponsors products.

We have a big rig with a 50'+ trailer that is fully decked out for our trainings. The goal is to help Wal-Mart increase sales and associate knowledge base in their stores. Right now, our similiar program with Staples has seen an increase in their sales by about 54%.

I am a tour lead, which means I am in charge of the tour and work closely with the Store Managers and the Department Managers to get their staff trained, I am also spearheading the training in the Tech Tank, while one of my associates is training the staff on the inside on how to sell, customer service and how to increase the overall customers experience at Wal-Mart.

We are training them to take a more proactice approach.

Nope, I never said that. There are a ton in Dallas, but the Mexican food here is nowhere near as good as what you can get in El Paso... :)
