Of Course…Training is Important
• Research from the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA) has
shown that customer education programs have:
– Reduced the number of support calls by a factor of three.
– Increased renewal rates in one organization from 80% to 92%.
– Changed product buying habits. Another study showed that for every
one dollar spent on customer education, customers spent an additional
twelve dollars on the product.
