Training ‘N’ Tactics
If you want to train your team but don’t know where to start, Training ‘N’ Tactics (TNT) was created for you. Available exclusively to MRAA Silver and Gold members, TNT is a monthly series that dives into MRAA’s courses that have current relevance to marine dealerships.
Host Jerrod Kelley, MRAA Content Manager, provides context for each session and tips on how to implement the ideas found in each episode.
As it has grown, MRAATraining.com has added so much content that some members ask for advice on where to start. Consider TNT as MRAA’s “Recommended for You” section — with all the best content curated to provide a “training program in a box.”
