used at regional and national meetings.

2. How much will it cost?

Customization of Simation Excellence and a training course rollout varies from one company to another, so we quote on an individual company basis.

Costs are very reasonable, and can be provided quickly upon request.

Absolutely! We provide a business game with your products, your working environment, and your customers. Realism is very important in helping representatives accept training. We go to great lengths to ensure that your game is as close to your business as possible.

We can provide a no-strings-attached, customized pilot at an introductory price. This will ensure that you get what you want. The course will be ready to go after completion of the pilot phase, and we can discuss with you a variety of ways to provide the training.

5. Who runs training for the game, and how much involvement will my department have?

We take care of everything, from designing to training. Part of our service is to take the workload off your desk. Alternatively, if you want your training team or managers to run the courses, we will provide a one-day train-the-trainer course.

6. What's the basis of the game?

The Simation Excellence Business Game is based on the idea that enjoyment can open the door to learning. And by encouraging enthusiastic participant interaction, the game invites players to share best practices.
