Send out an email that you will give a $20. gift certificate to a local lunch place to the first person who responds to the email. Do something like that about once a week at different day and different time of the day and people will start checking. | |

Answering them effectively in a business setting is not second nature, especially if there are lots. Also keep in mind they will not say "I need training". If they need training they will make excuses instead, like "we didn't have to do this before, I have other things to do, etc." | |

For example, say everyone is used to tool X, but you want everyone to use tool Y for such-and-such business reason. It's possible that your people are pushing back simply because they don't have enough training with using tool Y. In that case, additional training may be an answer. | |
