How to Begin:

Know Your Team's

Knowledge Baseline

You Can't Improve Unless You Measure

Is your business whiskey-focused? How about wine-focused? Or perhaps beer-focused? You know the categories you want to grow and which deliver your best margins. Now it’s time to develop your staff expertise to drive those sales.

Your Team's Knowledge Baseline is the Right Place to Start

But how will you know where to start - and how will you know your training efforts are getting through? The answer: first get to know your staff's initial knowledge baseline. Then use that baseline to develop a targeted learning plan to drive sales right where you want them.

Select the Level of Detail that Matches Your Business

Different jobs within the organization will drive different types of sales and have closer contact with customers or buyers. We'll want to keep that in mind as we work together to design the different levels of measuring each employee type's baseline.

Self-Paced Learning

Going self-paced allows for maximum flexibility and employee buy—in

Blended Learning

With Live & Online Learning

The Most Efficient, Impactful & Targeted Way To Go

Training costs money, both in terms of your trainers and your staff. Blended learning is designed to break down your training to use less expensive online learning for more basic and less hands-on training and saving the more expensive live training for more intensive topics where demonstration and interaction will pay greater dividends.

Two Formats, One Blended Learning Path

Even though you will be training using online and live formats, your overall program management can be most efficiently handled by an online curriculum manager. This will center your activities in a single place for learners to go to view their curriculum, access course materials and view the schedule for live training whether online (e.g., ZOOM) or in-person, review exercises, tests and tracking personal results.

Micro & Gamified Learning

Micro Learning Is Hot, Because It Works

Micro-learning is about making your eLearning 'bite-sized', easier to complete, and laser focused, so as to avoid learner fatigue and boredom. We offer a popular 'swipe left or right' micro-module format that keeps the learning moving and lets learners decide when they are ready to move to the next micro-learning set.

Learning Competitions/Rewards are Hot, Because they Work

Friendly employee competitions are one of the most popular and most successful ways to engage your learners and maintain interest and learning motivation. We work with many custom learning technologies which offer both simple and multi-layered gamification tools.

Training using Learning Games is Hot, Because they Work

Learning competitions can be organized around test scores, completion rates or any number of metrics. One additional option is learning games, where the learning is in the game as opposed to course-like. For example, our popular ‘Wine Seller’ game is a great customizable template which adds engagement to any curriculum.

Leveraging Supplier Content is Easy
