It goes without saying that Consultants with a background in telecommunications services will be higher up the technical 'learning curve' than Consultants without a telecommunications services background. The more important point, however, is that all new Consultants go through a one-week training program which, among other things, gives each Consultant the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver advice and recommendations to business clients. Furthermore, the most effective Consultants are those with a combination of technical knowledge, analytical ability, relationship management experience and communication skills. Our training program is designed to equip new Consultants in each of these areas, and goes to show that while telecommunications experience is helpful, it is only one of several key attributes of a successful Consultant. Finally, it is important to note that the benefit of the Schooley Mitchell system is the strength of the Consultant network. In some circumstances, our clients have specific, complex telecommunications challenges. In this instance, our Consultants can draw on the telecommunications services experience of other technical specialists in the network, if necessary.
