10.2 Pre-start-up training: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Data from a 1997-98 training needs assessment of informal sector operators found that over 75 per cent of informal sector operators had primary education, while only seven per cent had attended vocational training courses. Most had acquired their skills in a variety of trades through apprenticeships or directly from their peers, but were unaware of the theoretical aspects (reported in Mlingi, 2000, p. 81). Only 5.3 per cent of the MSEs in the Swisscontact (2003) study had received any entrepreneurship training, and even fewer in new product technologies or costing and pricing. This suggests that most MSEs are “learning through trial and error” or from the practical know-how of other operators.

How To Grow Your Business Through Speaking
One of the leading entrepreneurs in Los Angeles says, "If you are not getting results by speaking, you need to take responsibility as the marketing director of your business and learn how to do it effectively. The biggest problem I have seen is the resistance business owners have with spending time and money getting the entrepreneurial training needed to increase their results. TOO many business owners think they should intuitively know how to write their marketing materials, AND SPEAK IN PUBLIC. Writing advertising copy and verbal expertise is not a skill we are born with. It is a learned ability. So if you don't know how to get the networking or sales response you need, either hire someone who can do it effectively or learn how from an expert. THE CONTRARY IS COSTING YOU MORE BUSINESS THAN YOU EVEN REALIZE."
Media Training, Marekting-Oriented Business Communication Go Hand In Hand
In the business communication training I've conducted over the years, I've found that communication skills don't have to be limited to the obvious focus on writing training and presentation skills (public speaking) training.

The main issue is always how to maximize some aspect of a company’s growth performance, so before one can decide on whether to invest in training, one must first determine whether that training will hit the intended target.

Most trainers start their career in technical roles. After all, before they become confident to teach others, they need to know the topic they want to teach inside out. Learning something deeply takes years and requires a lot of persistence. Eventually, a technical person may decide that it is time to start transferring that knowledge to others. This is where training and knowing how to train others comes into equation. We all know that someone can be very good at what they do but might not be good at telling you how they do it. On the other hand, some people are very good at explaining everything in simple terms, even though they are not world famous in their technical field.
