Levels of IMG Training

I. What's the Objective?

The first part of our sharing this month is the "Preparation of a Trainee" which focused mainly on the Mind Set Preparations. Check this on our http:trulyrichmakersenewsletter.blogspot.com.

Learning is a continuous journey and like any other field you want to get in you learn by stages or some prefer to call it ladder. And in most systems be in schools (the formal education)  or in-house (corporate training and seminars) there is no way for you to get back to the previous level and there is a pre-requisite before you can take the next level.

In IMG we both have the freedom to choose which venue to get in and the ability to move up in what level of training we want to get into. More than that we also have capability to repeat any of the Training Series. Because in IMG- International Marketing Group we simply employ repetition so that we can master and duplicate our trainer. For our objective in our training is to create more trainers who will become leaders who will create more leaders.  Our Objective is to move up people to the different levels of training: From Trainee to Trainer to Leader (MD) and eventually Builders (MD Factory) See p..

II. What are the Opportunities in IMG Training

You maybe a high school , a college degree holder or even have a doctorate degree but you will have to subject yourself to a training process that puts you all in the same level. And you will be surprised, your degree helps but it really does not matter in IMG. 

The Different Opportunities in IMG Training are:
A. BPM/BMP - Business Presentation. This is the first stage training which introduces our company and what we do. The BPM (Bring People to the Meeting) is when we go to IMG office while BMP(Bring Meeting to the People) is when IMG Trainers visit us.  This is the first level contact and training in our IMG career which is open to members and non-members. We take this course repetitively together with people we share our basic concepts. This can be by group as in a classroom type of presentation or a more personalized one on one training. This has many schedules in place. You ask your Marketing Directors or Trainers for your specific schedule. For our Team, our BPM Schedules are Tuesday 10AM and 2PM, Thursday 10AM  and 2PM, and Saturday 6PM.  This is FREE! Read p 44-46 of System Builder

B. Upstart- This is for us to know the Mission, Vision and the Compensation Plan of our IMG Business. Tis happens every Saturday 9Am and 2PM .

C. Higher Series- This training is available only for members and there is no pre-requisite which particular "Series" you want to get into. This happens every Wednesday 7PM. My favorite topic here is "The Holy Use of Money". On a once a quarter basis too, there is a "Market Update" by no less than Rex Mendoza: one of the best if not the best fund manager in the world today.This is also FREE!

D. Product Training- This is the product orientation of the companies we represent in IMG. They come to the office and do their product appreciation training to all the members. This is by special arrangements and do not have regular schedule except for Kaiser that runs every Saturday 11AM for Long Term Healthcare and Wednesday 2PM for the Short Term Healthcare.

E. Business Flow Training- This is a continuing training conducted by our President- Joen Delas Penas. This happens every Friday 7PM. If you want to learn how Sir Joen does the business then be in this training. 

We also do the (P-I-P)- Prospecting- Inviting-Presenting Training and Sharing every Saturday 6PM.. Learn from your MD's/Leaders their own experiences highlighting their challenges and their strategies. Grab this opportunity to hear and learn the experience of our Master Builder here in the Philippines. Another FREE!

F. Team Meetings/Training- Team Meetings whether it is the 9AM Club, or the Regular Team Meetings are Opportunities of Learning from your trainers and fellow trainees. For the Truly Rich Makers Team, we have the 9AM Club every Tuesday and Thursday in Makati, and our Team Meeting every Thursday at 530PM. We also have the MD Executive Meeting every Thursday 2PM and our Business Flow (P-I-P) every Saturday 6PM. Of course this is also FREE!

G. Conventions- IMG has set up once a quarter convention of IMG Members all over the world. This is done both in and outside the country. The last IMG Convention was held February 17 in Singapore. This coming June 22-23, the convention will be in MOA-SMX. We expect more than 1500 attendees for this convention. Conventions is the BIG Event we must not miss if we are serious in our Mission and Business. This is the ultimate training. This is where the successful Builders in the company share their own experience and how they were able to achieve their success. This is the opportunity to link up with great Leaders. Often times this comes out also FREE if you meet the PROMO Requirements like 5:5 Runs.

Fely and I are both started our journey with the basic of how we should manage our finances which is our Series 1 Training or the BPM. We listened to this training over and over for so many number of times with so many different trainers for about two years. Our attendance to the different available training move us up from "I wont" to "I did". We move up initially to be Trainers for BPM and BMPs initially in our office in Cavite. Eventually we shared the concepts all over the world. Then, we moved from being Trainers to Leader of our TRM-Truly Rich Makers Team and eventually became Big Builders of the  Fastest Growing Team of Champions: TRM Team!

III. Levels Of Training:

There are four levels of Training in IMG that Fely and I went through. These are:

A. Trainee Level (MD Trainee)- This is the very first level. We have to listen and learn attentively to BPM by many different trainers. Our very first mentor trainer were Doc Jaime and Doc Dada. We also listened to the great mentors like Mam Shirley and Mam Cathy. We were inspired by their own story.  But the first encounter we have with IMG as a Trainee is when we attended the Truly Rich Coaching Seminar by Bro Bo Sanchez. In that seminar we first saw and heard our leaders Sir Noel and Sir Joen. To this date, every opportunity we have, we listen to them to continually learn. We are forever a Trainee even if we have moved up as a Trainer.

B. Trainer Level (MD Club)-  To climb to this ladder, you simply do what you learn as a trainee. You cannot train someone else if you yourself do not do what you train them. Fely and I did what we learned as a Trainee. We internalized the concepts and applied it. We first check out our cash flow and our net worth. We defined our financial goals and executed the Solid Financial Foundation. Then we were able to stand on moral grounds to share to others. We moved from being a Trainee to a Trainer by simply sharing what we do. Our focus was to master and apply the BPM and BMPs so we can be a Trainer. So we went out in the field and do our BPMs. The first two years of being a Trainer we switch from Trainee to Trainer and duplicate what we learn from our great mentors.

C. Leader (MD)- From a Trainer we succeeded to move one notch higher and that is to become a Leader. We got promoted to Marketing Director and became a Leader of our Team- Truly Rich Maker Team. Becoming a Leader means you are able to duplicate yourself as a Trainer. The process was also a repetition. We just move up our Trainees to become Trainers.  How? Same process: allow them to be trained and execute what they learn and let them share it.

I still remember vividly the first BPM of our NMD Malvin Leano. He was wearing a "puruntong" short and our mode of presenting was via acetate and foil pen projected by the old style OHP- Overhead Projector. Malvin's first presentation was the X-Curve.Concept. The OHP was blowing hot air and Malvin was perspiring not because of that, but because it was his first Training. He is conducting the Training yet he was also a Trainer. eventually as Matin (the wife) and Malvin do what they share, they became powerful sharer (the real meaning of IMG Trainer) and now a BIG Builder in IMG! 

D. Builder (MD Factory)- This is the ultimate goal. This is the final outcome or product of our Duplication System. We have to move from being a Leader to makers of Leaders. From being an MD to an MD Factory. Once we achieved the MD position we are not really an MD till we promote more MD in our own team. Again, this is a simple process of helping your Trainers to become MD too. You must not rely on your MD to do this for you. You should have the initiative to do it for yourself. And guess what is the secret to get to this level?: NONE. All we have to do is to continue to Train and be Trained. Align with great Leaders and Builders. Get coached to be a good coach. Be mentored by those who have been successful in building their own Team. Continue to go through the different Opportunities of Learning and continue to support and encourage your team. You just focus first on your first three you wan to become an MD. See p130 of System Builder. 

The First Three (Big Three of TRM) are Nancy and Manny Martin, Malvin and Matin Leano, and Malou and Vener Torres. They actually belong to one leg in our team. We focused our effort and  energy to help and train them to become Trainers and eventually MD Builders. We attend together all the Opportunities fro Learning. We not only develop the habit, discipline and the know-how to build our big teams, but we also build it big together as a team and as a family.

Thank You!
