										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">What does it mean when your CEO comes to you and asks you to do an ROI study to justify your training budget?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">You are already fighting your corner, because the chances are that his or her mind are already set on slashing your budget, downsizing your team or even outsourcing your entire function.  If the question has already been asked, then the clock is already ticking and your chance of delivering a positive outcome are quickly diminishing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Now, right now is the time to prepare a detailed portfolio of ROI evidence that demonstrates proactively how your function has added to the bottom line of the business in dollars and cents &#8211; why wait until it&#8217;s too late&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">The ability to convert changes in behavior into objective data has been a huge challenge for training and marketing professionals, but not anymore.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">The team at Merlin Healthcare are working with a whole host of clients in the US and throughout Europe to quantify the impact of training interventions and KOL development programs and convert them into objective ROI data that can be used in the Boardroom.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Yes the clock is ticking, but your opportunity is to positively change the perception of the value your team has to your business.  The question your CEO will be asking is &#8220;what additional resource do you need from the company, your value is tangible?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">If you would like to know how we have been helping our clients call or email Dave Chubb, Merlin Healthcare President.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Tel: +1 (407) 792 2265</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Email: dave.chubb@merlin-hc.com</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sales meetings, conferences and product launches are highly motivational events when carefully managed.  Merlin Healthcare’s approach to ‘Salesforce Effectiveness Training’ ensures that these motivation levels can be assured in the high-energy environment created through exploitation of its unique <em>HyperMetrics<img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></em> validation process technology.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bespoke Training – Expansion into the United States of America</span></p>
<p>June 1st 2010 – Bespoke Training &amp; Development (UK) Ltd today announced the opening of its US subsidiary, Merlin Healthcare LLC in Orlando, Florida. The introduction of Merlin Healthcare LLC increases the scope of the company to make a measurable difference in the field of Pharmaceutical and Biotech training. Be it through sophisticated training evaluation and benchmarking tools or conference and classroom training simulations, Bespoke Training &amp; Development (UK) Ltd and now Merlin Healthcare LLC are passionate about making sure that their clients’ training programs deliver a measurable return on investment.</p>
<p>Bespoke Training &amp; Merlin Healthcare will operate a mirrored operational structure, with two essential teams in both Countries: Operations and Client Development. In the UK the main office will retain its location in Fordingbridge, Hampshire and Steve King will lead the Operations team and Gareth Davies will lead the Client Development team.  The new US office of Merlin Healthcare will be located in Orlando, Florida with excellent links to its entire US Pharmaceutical and Biotech client base. Dave Chubb will move to the United States to oversee Merlin Healthcare’s successful launch and will assume the role of leading the Operations team once it is established.  Paul Chard joins Merlin Healthcare as an equity partner and will lead the Client Development team.  Paul brings with him extensive experience of both the US and European markets, having worked at a very senior level in various blue-chip Pharmaceutical and Contract Sales Organizations.</p>
<p>The need to demonstrate a positive return on training investment has never been greater. Until now measurement of training value has been notoriously difficult, however, with the introduction of the Organization’s unique Merlin Metrics<img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> software and processes, some of the answers to the most asked questions is at our fingertips: What difference has this training made in the workplace to employee behaviour? What does this change in behaviour mean in terms of increased sales, can we measure it? How should I allocate my training resources to gain maximum return on investment?</p>
<p>Bespoke Training &amp; Development Ltd and now Merlin Healthcare LLC offer a unique approach to Pharmaceutical and Biotech training and are dedicated to making a measurable difference, through sophisticated training evaluation and benchmarking tools</p>
<p>Bespoke Training &amp; Development Ltd and Merlin Healthcare’s senior leadership team have an enviable heritage in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech sectors in both the United States and Europe and would be delighted to discuss their portfolio of products and approach with you.</p>
