Our objective in providing a comprehensive sales training program to our distributors is to provide thorough, extensive product training, and the best trained staff to assist their customers, resulting in a better informed and more successful sales partner. Our goal is to train them on our complete line of products, giving them the sales advantage to specify our products in existing sales and new products and an awareness that creates overall growth.

Both the DSOT (DODGE School of Transmissioneering) and the RSMD (RELIANCE School of Motors and Drives) are given in the DODGE – RELIANCE Training Center in Greenville, SC. These programs are comprehensive classes taught by our marketing specialists, product engineers, and training specialists. Each product line is highlighted giving the features and benefits of the individual products, their applications, and specifications. Hands-on sessions aid in the instruction, and help the student visualize the integrity of the products. Homework sessions examine product and application knowledge acquired during the daily classes.

The DSOT, with over 54 years in existence, is the longest ongoing sales and product training program in the industry. It is centered on the three main DODGE product lines: Bearings, Gearing, and PT Components. Each line is subdivided into its main product groups, discussing the features, benefits, and applications of each one individually. Each discussion involves extensive use of the DODGE Engineering Catalogs to develop product and application knowledge.

The RSMD, evolving from previous field schools, follows the pattern and excellence of the DSOT. It also centers on product groups, covering NEMA AC, Inverter Duty, Special Purpose, DC and Engineered Motors, along with AC and DC Drive Basics, Products, Specifications, and Applications. Hands on sessions with set-up and testing are included in the drives segment.

Prerequisites for the DSOT include at least 2 years of sales experience in mechanical power transmission products. If the student has been selling DODGE products for fewer than five years, the completion of PREP X 1, "The Fundamentals of Power Transmission," and PREP X 2, "The use of the Dodge Engineering Catalogs," is required.

The RSMD requires at least 2 years of sales experience in motors and drives and the completion of the RELIANCE training programs, "Fundamentals of AC Motors," and "Basics of AC Drives."
