Current Fire Departments using SkillGrader

Key Buyers (Training Leadership Roles):

• Chief of Fire, Commander – Main Chief over the entire department.

• Chief of Training (Battalion or Divisional Chief of Training) – Oversees training across multiple firehouses under the same department.

• Assistant or Deputy Chief of Training – Often responsible for the entire training effort, including both Fire Suppression and EMS. Some departments split these roles into separate Fire and EMS positions—SkillGrader works with both.

• Lieutenant or Captain of Training – Key players in overseeing and implementing training programs.

Sales Approach:

• Leverage momentum from one state to expand into all Fire Departments that fit the ICP before moving on.

• Asking for referrals is a powerful strategy—name-dropping other local fire departments reps have spoken to can help build trust and credibility.
