According to Marketing Profs, the content marketing industry grew beyond the $300 billion mark last year.

Clearly, the ability to develop persuasive content has become a critical requirement for success in the marketing space.

After all, your marketing message is basically your brand talking to your prospects. The ability to tell them what they want to hear, in a way that resonates with them is thus a key differentiator for successful brands across industries.

The bottom line is that content writing and copywriting are both radically important marketing skills.

Be that as it may, when you can hire a copywriter, or even a team of copywriters, why should you invest in training other resources in this skill?

Before we answer that, let’s first understand the importance of training your employees.

Why Train Employees At All?

The simplest, most straightforward answer to this question is because today, unlike a few years ago, you CAN train employees.

Unlike a few years ago, today’s businesses have access to world-class employee training tools that enable them to treat their employees with a delightful and impact-driven training experience, even with a low training budget.

Modern training tools like the learning management systems offer a variety of features that anyone, even someone with no prior experience in delivering online training, can employ to  deliver engaging training.

For instance, a well known learning management system, Mindflash LMS features AI enabled capabilities that automate the personalisation of training for each employee.

Quality employee training has many benefits besides the obvious accelerated growth of your organisation.

For instance, did you know that a study showed that 76% of job seekers look for professional growth opportunities as a differentiator when they are comparing different opportunities. On the other hand, 40% employees said they will leave their organisation if they are dissatisfied with the training they receive.

Considering the high costs involved in hiring new resources, employee training can help your business save some serious cash by boosting employee retention.

Now that we have understood the importance of employee training, let us see why copywriting is the one skill that is beneficial for everyone in your marketing department.
