The ability to plan and execute successful events, promotions, and incentives is a key skill for any sales professional. But, what if your salespeople are dispersed? How can they get the support they need when they need it? How do they know if they’re making the right decisions? And, most importantly, how can an organization ensure that these sales events are worth the investment in the first place?

In this session, you’ll dive into details of a learning solution created for just this type of audience—Xfinity indirect account executives who primarily supported external retail partners. You’ll learn how the L&D team worked to solve this issue with thoughtful training and performance support. You’ll look at how they began assessing the situation with a targeted survey, walk through their design process, and see their final output: content that included engaging live-action video, an interactive training guide with embedded support tools, and an online game that measured whether the audience was ready to begin planning and executing their own events. Through exploring the process used to design this content, you’ll gain ideas and approaches for creating your own blended learning solutions.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to position a survey and ask the right questions for maximum results and input
• How to approach designing a self-paced learning solution to support a dispersed audience
• Options for using interactive PDFs to serve as both the foundation for training and on-the-job performance support
• Tips for planning and executing learning media, such as live-action video with actual employees and online “choose your own adventure” games with customized video feedback
