Executive Summary
Ketler Presentations is a training company that started informally in 1987. A wide range of short courses are offered that range from 1 to 5 days. These courses are designed to offer the client a solution to their needs and are all custom-made. Trevor Ketler is the Founder and Managing Member of the Close Corporation who also facilitates for the courses.
Operating in a highly competitive industry, quality stills remains on the top of the list.
The existing market is with large and medium businesses as well as individuals. Forced markets are currently at a minimum, however this is planned to increase. We currently have one being the Civil Aviation Authority for the Train the Trainer Course.
The competitive advantage is that all courses are custom-made to the needs of the client, and that they are skill-based. Prices have remained constant for the past three years. Trevor Ketler himself facilitates all training so the expertise is passed on to the delegates.
The web site generates between 10 - 15 leads per day.
The business strengths are the custom-designed courses and the facilitator is also the researcher and designer of each course.
This creates the opportunity of producing quality courses for certain niche markets.
