Fight Times has been a massive success since going on-line with the free e-mag format and has exceeded all expectations.
The interest from service personnel globally has been constant and hits on my Todd Group linked site have increased my consulting and instructing duties beyond capacity.
We have a captive audience and in my field of Military close combat our readership from both instructors and operators is proof of the power of the net if you provide the information and services wanted by the professionals in the field and are known to be a qualified subject expert.
I always believed if you turn down a trip or a job you go to the bottom of the list or are struck off of the list.
This may have been the case in the past but not in today’s environment where the smart professional client knows who and what they want and are prepared to wait for available slots.
It’s very much a working relationship between the professional training provider and the educated and well-researched and informed client.
The smart client does their homework and knows what they want and that is highly qualified and experienced instructors and proven skills for the role.
The market requires instructors with the qualifications and military close combat experience as the client has a duty of care to provide his personnel with the best and safest of battle proven.
The professionals in the trade are known for their expertise and qualifications and it is often on a referral basis of contractors and instructors being hired.
When you consider that this can be a trade of life and death outcomes who would want to be trained by anyone other than the military trained and qualified for military close combat.
The close combat contract industry as far as Master level instructors go globally is very specialist and numbers of such experts are few.
The contract instruction provision is often the unseen or heard of outside the services side of training providing but the civilian training being for the general public requires a professional and high profile.
Fight Times is a winner in this area and something that instructors and organizations simply should take every advantage of.
I have progressively got busier and busier and now have an instructing team of fifty that are in demand constantly.
I have managed to gain considerable exposure via Fight Times while keeping my Todd Group activities a separate and isolated division of the two.
Fight Times has a serious professional audience that knows what they are looking for and does their homework.
The reality is there is a lot of information on the web that is far from correct or accurate and some that is down right misleading but to the professional and credible service provider and the smart and informed client the web is a very valuable tool.
I operate a military close combat facility that will celebrate eighty years of service provision in 2007 and it has never been busier since Fight Times was launched online.
I receive thousands of emails a week and hundreds of close combat related inquiries as well as having secured more instructing work than I can cope with.
I welcome enquiries from individuals that have the combat smarts to ask the important questions in regards to subject, qualification and experience and service as this shows they know what to look for and will make practically minded exponents or clients.
The reality is the Internet is a great tool and that those that do not take advantage of it could be left behind.
Readers really like the free nature of Fight Times and it gives them the ability to reach the masses at no cost that couldn’t be cheaper or easier.
But there are still many individuals and organisations that fail to take advantage of this service and they gradually fade in profile not to mention miss out on considerable business.
The new on line submission service plus our staff assistance make Fight Times accessible to everyone.
