Why Teams Choose Train-the-Trainer

 
Why build internal RED BEAR facilitators? Because off-the-shelf training isn’t enough when you want a consistent, global impact.

Here’s what brings leaders to the T3 program:
 

Cost Efficiency that Compounds

Train once, benefit for years. RED BEAR-certified facilitators eliminate recurring external fees—while scaling high-impact training across teams, regions, and functions.

Control, Customization & Consistency

Internal trainers bring your culture into the room.

The result? Training that aligns with your goals and sticks with your people.

Speed & Flexibility

No more waiting on external calendars. With in-house facilitators, your team can deploy negotiation training when it’s needed most—during onboarding, growth phases, change initiatives, or right before high-stakes negotiations.

Leadership Capability Building

Training others builds leaders. RED BEAR facilitators become trusted advisors, culture carriers, and internal champions—raising the bar for how your organization thinks, speaks, and acts in every negotiation.

Sustainable Impact, Long-Term ROI

Certified facilitators stay involved after the workshop ends—reinforcing concepts, coaching in the moment, and helping teams apply RED BEAR tools where it matters most: in real deals.

Built-In Credibility

Let’s face it—internal trainers often have an edge. They understand the business, the barriers, and the pressure your people face. That relatability builds trust—and drives adoption from the inside out.

The 4-Step Path to Certification

 
Our Train-the-Trainer program is hands-on, structured, and designed to ensure quality from day one.

Step 1:

Participate

Your facilitators begin by experiencing the full RED BEAR negotiation training themselves. They’ll learn directly from our Master Trainers, gaining a deep understanding of how discovery-based delivery transforms mindsets and drives change.

Step 2:
Prepare 

Next, they’ll dive into our leader materials—including the Instructor Guide and Participant Workbook—and begin preparing assigned sections of the course. Preparation typically takes 40–60 hours and is supported by our team every step of the way.

Step 3:
Complete

During the Train-the-Trainer workshop, participants practice delivery, receive feedback from a RED BEAR Master Trainer, and hone their facilitation techniques. The goal: confident, consistent instruction that meets RED BEAR’s global standards.

Step 4:
Deliver

To get certified, your facilitator leads a RED BEAR training and is evaluated on core instructional criteria. If they don’t meet certification during their first run, we’ll guide them through co-training or follow-up to ensure success.

Your certification is good for a period of one year and can be maintained by delivering the program a minimum of four times per year to at least 80 participants annually. 

Why It Matters 

 
Here’s why leaders choose our Train-the-Trainer program over building from scratch:

Results, Fast

Train-the-Trainer gives you the fastest path to impact by leveraging RED BEAR’s proven frameworks, research-backed methodology, and global delivery expertise. No trial. No error. Just immediate value at scale.

Total Internal Ownership

Build a self-sustaining negotiation capability within your organization that can evolve with your people and your business.

Long-Term Cost Efficiency

Reduce per-session costs, increase training volume, and extend the ROI of your RED BEAR engagement.

Reduce Risk. Earn Credibility.

Homegrown solutions are a gamble. With RED BEAR, your internal facilitators deliver validated content that drives real outcomes—earning the respect of senior leaders and the trust of front-line teams.
