Job Opportunity - National Sales Director to Law Enforcement – Work from homeOur company R3Results® has done employee training for over twenty five years for some of the biggest corporations in the world such as Google, Comcast, Avis, MetLife, and others. We’ve provided consultation to every level of government. We have developed a training course “Verbally Defusing Violent Confrontations” that received high praise from top experts in the world. It is accredited by IADLEST (International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards & Training) for 8 hours continuing professional education credits for law officers, and it received their National Seal of Excellence. Our course takes a new approach to the subject. One POST (Police Officers Standards & Training) director for a state said that he’d seen hundreds of de-escalation courses “But I can’t even begin to put into words how far superior your course is.” Top United Nations negotiators who deal with vicious warlords said: “Original and effective.” The colonel who headed security for The United States Marine Corps praised it as really effective. We teach how to control one’s inner state of being while under threat or attack. It is physical training which has a psychophysical result that “broadens your shoulders” and enables you to peacefully command someone who is very hyped up. The course combines high production value videos in which professional actors reenact real incidents in which violent attacks were successfully verbally defused, along with guided in-person training sessions practiced under stress following what was modeled. We have a U.S. utility patent on our unique methods and this allows us to offer the course very economically and we can deploy it to any size group no matter how large, while assuring quality. Your Role and Compensation “Cops like talking to cops” – that’s why we need you to represent us to the law enforcement community. You must have at least 5 yrs. duty as an officer. This position would be ideal for a retired officer. You should like talking to people and connecting with them. The position is also open to a currently employed officer who wishes to make more money and can devote 4-6 hours per week to the effort. You would call the POST directors in the 50 states for continuing education and also academy level training. You would call the major police departments in the country, on the municipal, state and federal level. You would also contact the corrections facilities. We know that many agencies already have some form of de-escalation training. They can try Part One of our four part series on a free trial basis for a limited number of their officers and see if the response isn’t one of enthusiasm. This is not check-the-checkbox training. This is something effective for those who truly believe in law enforcement as a high calling, peacekeeping and community policing. Compensation for this position can be substantial. As an example, if the program is purchased by a large city and the cost to them is $5 million, at a 15% commission rate, the salary is very commendable. That’s a real number. We’ve put hundreds of thousands into developing the course. Now let’s sell it. Added Benefits Save lives & cut stress on fellow officers. We call these “Skills to Live By®” Cut down on excessive force claims that cost cities and states around $3 billion per year. The federal government is issuing more grant funding for de-escalation training. How to Apply: Send a cover letter about your interest. Contact: Ken Hantman, President & Creative Director. Phone 215—947-2338 (landline); email: [email protected] . We will then arrange a Zoom meeting with yourself, Ken and company CEO G.A.
