- {{training_duration}}: Specify the length of the training (e.g., 2 days, 4 weeks).
- {{focus_areas}}: List the key skills to cover, such as prospecting, negotiation, closing, or account management.
- {{training_format}}: Indicate if you prefer in-person, virtual, or hybrid delivery.
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Based on the inputs, outline a training program with clear modules, each covering a specific skill area.
- For each module, include learning objectives, core content, and practical exercises (e.g., role-plays, case studies).
