To increase our proficiency, it’s important for revenue assurance professionals to be trained.  Training however is not without a cost.  Though courses are available, and in fact certification as a revenue assurance professional, it is difficult to afford the cost of the training itself.  I don’t necessarily believe the cost is prohibitive, just that the benefits of the training are not expressed adequately enough to justify the cost.  I would think assistance is needed in providing a cost-benefit analysis to our employers which would provide the assurance that the training is an ‘enabler’ to the employee in performing at a higher degree of competency.

This would be an interesting topic for discussion…please let me have your thoughts (in the comments below).

I am very much interested in seeing our membership grow as a group of professionals, and would like to see communication within the group increase as well.  I am going to be posting periodically to my blog throughout the year with topics of interest to the group, as well as hosting web based town hall meetings.  I would be interested in hearing from you as to what interests you have as well.
