Combining Communication, Marketing, Sales, & Cultural Understanding
Training
IMH International is your answer for International Communication and Intercultural Communication Training. Whether your company is sending sales or engineering staff overseas or you wish to understand differences in International Marketing Strategies, IMH International can train your staff to identify communication styles and adjust their own style when dealing with cultural differences. These differences include: Context (high vs. low); chronomics (time); proxemics (space); turn rate phase (TRP – the amount of time between speaking); paralanguage (tone, pitch, & silence); non-verbal communication; impersonal vs. interpersonal communication; power distance (low vs. high); uncertainty avoidance (low vs. high); transaction vs. relationship; and individualism vs. collectivism. IMH International can train your staff in implementing many communication theories into use, such as: Face-Negotiation Theory; Anxiety/Uncertainty Management (AUM) Theory; and many more. Training your staff can make the difference between a success or failure in your objectives and will change your perspective of why your company succeeded or failed in its objective.
