Build a role-based training plan

A role-based training plan assigns the right lessons to each job role so people learn what they can use right away. I map lessons for owners, marketers, developers, and operations so training stays focused and practical.

Define roles

• List the roles you have today. Start with owner, marketer, developer, and operations.
• Write two or three outcomes each role is responsible for in plain language.
• Note the core decisions each role makes and the tools they touch.
• Keep this list to one page so it is easy to act on.

Map skills to lessons

• For owners, plan lessons on setting goals and asking good questions about AI, SEO, and campaigns.
• For marketers, include keyword research, on page basics, content briefs, and simple analytics reads.
• For developers, cover site performance, accessibility basics, redirects, and tracking setup.
• For operations, include CRM data hygiene, lead handoff steps, and call or chat handling scripts.
• Write each lesson as a title, why it matters, tools needed, and a short exercise.

Pick formats and cadence

• Use short live sessions for new or changing topics and leave time for questions.
• Record live sessions and offer on demand modules for repeat basics.
• Add hands on exercises with checklists, templates, or talk tracks people can reuse.
• Hold office hours on a regular schedule. Post a simple recap of questions and answers.
• Assign role paths so each person knows which lesson to take next.

Assign practice and feedback

• End every lesson with one action to complete on real work.
• Have a manager or peer review the action using a short checklist.
• Collect common issues and turn them into the next office hours agenda.
• Track completed lessons and upcoming ones in a shared place.

What to check when done

• Every role has a one page path with the next lesson and a matching exercise.
• People have time on the calendar for training and office hours.
• Recordings, recaps, and checklists are easy to find in one place.
• New hires can start with the role path on day one without extra help.
• Leads, content, and site changes show up in the tracker after each lesson.
