This cutting edge technology helps users move “beyond sales competency to sales fluency”(greater retention and proficient use of acquired skills).
The app provides business support and reinforcement; it enables delegates to “Prep” themselves just before an important interaction with anyone they need to persuade, influence or motivate.
Participants use this easily accessible learning tool to work prior to the workshop and be well prepared to go deeper into it - the great plus of Blended Learning.
The application runs on all web-enabled platforms (PC, Mac, tablets, smartphones etc). All they will need is a web browser and connection to the internet.
