American EHS / American CPR Insurance program with National Professional Group, through Lloyds of London
American EHS / American CPR launched it's Affiliate Instructor Insurance program last Month. If you have tried to get insurance, you know how difficult it can be for Individual Safety Instructors and small groups to obtain affordable liability insurance...we've had the same problem for years. Now American EHS / American CPR has arranged special "Instructor Only" insurance that makes it possible to cover yourself from liability at an affordable price. Click here to view the program online!
(All Instructor's who wish to receive subcontract training from American EHS / American CPR MUST have liability insurance)

Obtain an online professional liability coverage quote for cpr training activities.

Affiliate Links create Business Boom
Affiliate CPR training links were added to our link pages at some of our web sites late last Month, and even with the usual Holiday slow down in safety training, American EHS / American CPR Affiliates received 439 leads in the first few weeks! ... this link system will propagate throughout our network of 40+ safety websites over the next months. You should be receiving safety training requests via email from these pages, if you are not, check your link at: www.americancpr.com/CPRLinks.html and make sure you have completed the steps and returned your Link Application form;  Click here for the form! 

Comments from Instructors:

"The referral program is great it helps us compete with other large national training program like the "American Red Cross", and it is providing a real service to your training instructors and the general public.  The referrals clearly adds value to the our relationship with American CPR. I am looking forward to the additional leads as the links are added to all 40 websites!  I will probably add additional community classes to my schedule and what is great is the community classes are usually scheduled at time that they do not conflict with classes I teach under subcontract to American CPR ."
~ Ray ~ California ~ (received 42 referrals in 3 weeks)

" I have received a lot of email traffic pertaining to your referrals. It is always good for business to touch base with new people! I have somewhat created an email draft to respond to the inquiries however the information I provide each person is different depending on the area the client is in. Thanks for everything, we look forward to continuing our relationship."
~ Alison ~ Texas ~  (received 22 referrals in 3 weeks)

Suggestions for making the most of your email leads:

  • Price your Community Class enrollment competitively, check your competition, and price your classes just below their pricing. (AEHS/ACT materials are the least expensive on the market, so under-pricing your competition should be easy!)

  • Hold your Community Classes in easy to find locations according to a regular schedule, at convenient times. (Many schools and community centers will allow you free use of their facilities, and others will make a deal with you if you offer their personnel discounted training when they attend your community classes...try regular classes like "the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each Month" this makes your training something that employers can plan for and schedule for their new hires!)

  • Check your email EVERY DAY, and set up an email "Template" or "Draft" for easy response. (The faster you respond to the individual leads you receive, the more likely they will enroll in your classes ~ the longer they have to wait for your response, the more likely they are to enroll elsewhere.)

Every lead means money in your pocket, so be sure to provide as much helpful and interesting information as possible! Leads vary drastically by geography, season, and demographics....you may receive 1 lead one Month, and 50 the next.... be prepared to handle whatever comes your way!

American EHS / American CPR Full color, expanded Student & Instructor Materials
In October, American EHS / American CPR Released our New, expanded full color Student Training Materials, teaching the ABCD's of CPR at Bystander and Professional CPR levels. Many of you have seen the new materials, and we have received OUTSTANDING feedback from those of you who have used the new materials. As part of our promotion of the new materials, as well as our commitment to introduce the essential principals of Early Defibrillation to the population, we have held the prices on these materials down at 1998 pricing so you could all stock up. As of 2/15/04, there will be a slight increase in price on these materials, so we encourage all American EHS / American CPR Affiliate Instructors and Training Centers to Stock up now. You may still use the 2003 order form which has the same prices we have offered since 1998 until February 15th, when the new prices take effect. (Download the old order form here) You will receive the new, full color materials, but at the old pricing. ***Note even our slightly higher 2004 pricing for the expanded, full color materials is 20% - 75% below any other national training group!
