Are You Feeding Too Much Money into a Training Vending Machine?

Sure, a vending machine can be tempting, with its rows of neatly wrapped packages. 

But if you stop to think about it, deep down you know you’re just throwing money at empty, overpriced calories. You’ll soon come back hungry again, shelling out more money for the same old options.

Well, what if I told you that there was a more cost-effective and satisfying solution than repeatedly buying individual items from a vending machine? 

What if I told you that you could own the vending machine?

Wait...What?!?!

For 30+ years, many organizations have treated conflict management training like going to a vending machine. They’ve gone back to that same machine to purchase individual training packages, time after time.

Why? Because there were no other options.

Now, there is another option: Vistelar’s Content License Model.

Imagine being able to have the key to the entire vending machine. Whenever you need to, you could open it up and choose, at no additional cost, the exact combination you need that will help you with your problems.

In essence, this is what Vistelar’s Content License Model gives you.

At Vistelar, we know that the complex challenge of building respectful and safer environments of care can’t be addressed effectively or sustainably by a single, packaged training purchase.

That’s why, instead of requiring you to put a certain dollar amount into the vending machine, only to get one snack, our model allows you to create and develop an entire meal that will curb your hunger over the long term.

What’s Really Different about a Content License 

OK, now that we’ve stated the analogy, let’s talk serious training business for a minute because this topic deserves that attention.

The traditional model of training has been either a train-the-trainer program, with the trainer then training the rest of the staff, and the organization still has to purchase training materials for each person; or a workshop for numerous staff, without any method to sustain the program internally. 

Both models are, at best, temporary solutions with limited flexibility and potentially high long-term costs. 

Vistelar’s Content License Model, on the other hand, is designed to help you take full advantage of our expertise in addressing the entire spectrum of human conflict through our Unified Conflict Management Training System. 

Building on training that’s been proven in the real world for over 40 years, a Vistelar Content License allows your organization to:

• Truly customize a training program to fit specific policies, procedures and guidelines.
• Create unlimited online courses, develop custom training sessions and print unlimited workbooks.
• Brand all the material as the organization’s training program – powered by Vistelar.
• Access the material for life.

All of that comes with the support of our team every step of the way – and at no additional cost beyond the initial license fee.

Why We Want You to Have the Whole Vending Machine

At Vistelar, we believe that building respectful and safer environments of care is too dynamic and mission-critical to rely on old, limited approaches. 

The Content License Model is an innovative option to support the long-term success of any organization. By giving every department the opportunity to customize and tier their training program, it encourages everyone to take ownership of the content. You’re not restricted to a “canned program”; you’re only restricted by how creative and innovative you and your staff will be.

So, are you hungry to learn more?
