(San Francisco, CA USA) BayGroup International now offers three new "virtual coaching" systems to support the success of client performance improvement initiatives:

• 100minutes™ to Executing Sales 2.0
• 100minutes™ to Improved Sales Results
• 100minutes™ to Improved Supplier Negotiation

According to Gregg Crawford, President and CEO of BayGroup International, "The 100minutes™ systems answer two key questions we hear from our clients: 'How can we help our VERY busy managers coach their people more effectively—without asking them to invest more time than they already devote to their teams?' and 'How do we know our people will use the Web 2.0 tools we make available to them?' Answering these questions requires more than quality content and great technology. It takes a deployment approach that motivates use of those tools...and provides virtual support to to managers and coaches to make sure behavior changes 'stick' after formal training ends. That's what BayGroup International's 100minutes™ systems are all about:"

Each 100minutes™ system is built around a series of simple, tailored, media-supported learning and application activities completed by participants over the course of seven or eight weeks. They improve performance results by giving managers "virtual coaching" support delivered using Web 2.0 technology.

According to Crawford, "Our 100minutes™ deployment systems can be implemented in a number of flexible ways to support both online and blended learning initiatives. They can provide quick and wide-scale access to critical knowledge on a stand-alone basis, and can also be used to reinforce live workshop and webinar training back on the job."
