A Fortune 500 company was seeking a way to get a safety message to customers via their sales force without the training impacting face time. But, how do you train 3,000 plus salespeople to enhance their selling approach and deliver this new message to thousands of customers in a consistent fashion, in a compressed time frame, and with limited time away from selling?
In this session you will learn how they mplemented an enterprise mobile-learning platform for the sales force while concurrently developing content to teach the salesforce key new messaging. You’ll see how the L&D team designed a learning program leveraging each seller’s omnipresent smartphone and laptop as key access points to the just-in-time training content, participatory activities, and leader-led discussions. You will gain the perspective on how the overall program was planned, implemented, and supported in the age of myriad mobile challenges like security, authentication, integration, and private app stores.

- A blended approach using mobile and the roadblocks to such a large undertaking
- A beginning-to-end perspective on working with business partners and the learning areas to create a blended approach
- Insights on how to engage leaders at all levels to make the program a success
