What is the main purpose of Trainers Direct?
To connect businesses directly with freelance trainers and coaches. This helps businesses reduce their training costs and provides our members with increased exposure and highly targeted business opportunities.

How will membership create highly targeted business opportunities for me?
We invest a central budget plus one third of all membership subscriptions in online marketing. Primarily, this is aimed at businesses who are searching for training and trainers via online search engines and directories. So when visitors come through to our site and view your profile, they are actively looking for training providers. As a collective group of trainers we are able to compete with the marketing spending power of larger training companies.

How will they find my profile?
When you join, your profile is set up in the geographic location where you are based and also in up to five subject categories of your choice. Businesses who are searching for trainers by either subject expertise or geographic location will be encouraged to click through and read your full profile.

How will I know whether any business enquiries are coming from Trainers Direct?
This is for you to qualify the leads and enquiries that you receive. You can simply ask where people found your details or you can use a unique email address in your profile so that you know which enquiries are coming via Trainers Direct.

When do I have to make a financial commitment?
We offer a 90 day free trial from the time that your profile and web page have been set up. You need to set up a subscription payment before your 90 day trial ends. We do not ask for any credit card details at the point of registration. Essentially, we are giving you the opportunity to ensure our service is generating business enquiries and leads before you make any form of financial commitment.

Do I need to do any promotion for the site to work for me?
No, your profile will be visible to our site visitors via the geographic search and your chosen subject categories. However, the more widely known our network becomes, the more visitors it will receive and the more all members' profiles will be viewed. So we do ask members to help us with passive site promotion such as including a link on your LinkedIn profile, on your own website/blog and so on. But this is entirely optional.

Are there any additional membership benefits?
We are very keen to state that our primary purpose is to connect businesses with freelance trainers and coaches directly. However, we have also partnered with several related organisations who are prepared to offer our members special discounts and/or incentives on their products/services. These can be accessed via the members' area once you have joined.

How do I join?
Simply click here and complete our registration form. Your unique web page and profile will then be created within 7 days (usually sooner).
