Sales can be an exciting career, but it’s definitely not a walk in the park. Sales professionals have to interact with all kinds of people, earn their trust, and persuade them that their product is the best choice among many others in the market.

It takes a strong will and confidence to keep pushing for sales success in such a competitive market – and most definitely some top-tier sales skills to deliver results.

To cultivate these selling skills, you need to equip your salespeople not only in a way that fits their busy schedule, which often finds them on the move or jumping from one sales call to another, but also effectively so that they improve their sales performance.

You need a comprehensive learning management system like LearnWorlds, that can be powerful and agile enough to empower your sales training needs so that you can create and deliver your best sales training program.

Featuring rich educational tools and supporting an unlimited number of users and courses, LearnWorlds will help you incorporate training into your company culture and build an unstoppable, highly skilled sales team.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at LearnWorlds and its potential as a valuable tool for enhancing your business development efforts.

We’ll explore how LearnWorlds can effectively train your sales representatives and managers, equipping them to achieve better results in terms of sales conversions. With LearnWorlds in your toolkit, you can expect to see notable improvements in your team’s performance and, ultimately, your business’s success.

Boosting Sales Success: Unleashing the Benefits of LearnWorlds Training

LearnWorlds is a feature-rich learning platform. We offer more features than you could hope for, but for the purposes of this article, we’re focusing on the ones that will help you deliver an engaging and valuable sales training program.

Course Builder: Customization, Control, and Efficiency

LearnWorlds has an intuitive, customizable course builder that enables you to build your courses fast, dividing them into sections filled with engaging learning activities.

You can customize the layout of your sales training course page and the course player to match your brand colors and duplicate a course if you need to reuse it in another program.

LearnWorlds enables you to build custom learning paths with completion rules. Enable your employees to complete lessons in random order or to follow a specific sequence.

You can even release content gradually (drip-feed) so you can ensure your sales employees have reached the learning objectives of one lesson before they move on to the next.

On top of that, you can control who sees what – under one roof, you can build different courses for different departments or branches and manage the visibility of each course.

Multimedia & Interactive Content: Elevate Learning Engagement and Retention

The key medium to learning is the course content. And here come two things you need to pay attention to – different learning preferences and engagement.

Some of your employees will learn best by watching a training video or listening to a podcast, others by reading, and others by doing.

The only way to keep everyone happy and offer them a valuable learning experience is to add a variety of learning content instead of offering a completely uniform course that relies on one sole medium.

Following this strategy will also ensure you keep your learners hooked. Add as much interactivity as possible for even better engagement and more effective learning.

Let’s see the learning activities LearnWorlds supports:

Interactive Video Editor: Create Dynamic Content Effortlessly

It’s a safe guess that videos will consume the largest part of your course. So, how about giving them a little boost? With our interactive video editor, you can enrich your videos with text and images, thumbnails, clickable buttons, popups, and CTAs (e.g., to communicate an offer or direct learners to a support resource). You can even add popup questions as mini quizzes that will change the flow of the lesson depending on the learner’s reply.

Our video editor will also autogenerate a transcript for you and subtitles. For longer videos, you can add a table of contents so your learners can go directly where the juice’s at!

Video Conferencing Tools: Harness the Power of Live Learning & Real-time Engagement

If you’re not convinced that self-paced learning is the best solution for your needs, our integrations with Zoom and Webex video conferencing tools open a whole new world of possibilities for some synchronous learning through live sessions:

Mobile App Builder: Deliver Enriched Learning Experiences On-the-go

Launch your own 100% white-label mobile app, with zero coding skills. Our mobile app builder is easy-breezy to use and enables you to play around and customize the look and feel of your app. Choose your app name and logo, customize the UI by adding sections and widgets, and let mobile learning begin! Of course, you can preview it before officially launching it, and make any adjustments necessary. Our team is always here to help.

Apart from being easy to launch, our mobile app will also bring value to your training. Your learners can set learning reminders, access offline content, and receive push notifications. Everything else is business as usual – the same quality content and seamless experience they can enjoy on the go.

Assessment & Certificate Builder: Elevate Skills and Certify Success:

LearnWorlds makes quizzing fun and effortless with a robust assessment builder that currently supports 16 question and assignment types, including text, video, and audio options to cover all possible learning needs and preferences.

Choose among graded assessments (exams) or offer non-graded assessments for self-evaluation. Use a question bank so you can easily reuse questions among different courses. Set advanced settings like a timer, number of attempts allowed, individual score per question, and many more. A reflection journal is also available.

And what happens after learners submit an assignment? You can add automatic feedback for closed-type questions and review/comment on any open-type question. You can additionally tag users based on their answers and follow up with those who may need help or schedule an automated email communication.

You’ll also love our Gradebook, which allows not only for easy assignment review but also gives quick access to basic information about learner progress. Last but not least, with our certificate builder, you can reward and acknowledge your learners’ accomplishments with a solid sales certification plan. Choose among a Certificate of Completion or a Certificate of Knowledge, and customize them to your liking.

Multiple Schools (Multitenancy): Expand Your Training Across Branches and Audiences

If you want to diversify between different branches, brands, types of training, or even different audiences (for example, employees and customers), our Multiple Schools functionality will come in more than handy. Create multiple schools for multiple audiences using one email and login credentials and manage them all from the same dashboard. From one single dashboard, you can build and manage different learning environments and set access controls for other admins too.

Artificial Intelligence: Streamline Your Training’s Content Creation

If you want to create training addressed to your employees and draw examples from your unique experiences with customers, then you need to create original content. Thanks to LearnWorlds’ AI assistant, the process is much easier than you think. Powered by GPT-3.5, our assistant features more than 200 prompts, and it can help you with the following:

Automations & Bulk Actions: Reduce Admin Tasks and Simplify Your Worklfow

Automations work with an “if this, then that” logic. Specific triggers, as you choose them, will lead to specific actions if certain conditions are met. Automations have multiple use cases that you can see here and can seriously cut down admin work, especially when it comes to email communications and course enrolments.

For example, you can create an automation that indicates that when a learner who has submitted an assessment receives a failing grade, they will automatically receive the X email. In tandem with bulk actions that take care of mass user import/enrollment/deletion and more, you can take most repetitive admin tasks off your to-do list.

Built-In Community: Foster Engagement and a Collaborative Working Environment

Think about how much of the learning we do is in casual settings: through conversations with friends, scrolling on social media, or watching YouTube videos on topics we find fascinating. And we’d all agree that this is the kind of learning that sticks – learning that happens outside of the classroom, without being forced.

For this reason, it’s essential to build a learning community within your online academy that will bring together your learners/employees. LearnWorlds provides you this opportunity in the form of a built-in community page that resembles a social media network – within this community, learners can create their profile and follow their friends, share posts, images, or polls, leave comments, and even build groups if you enable this setting. Plus, each course natively has its own discussion board.

Multiple Integrations: Supercharge Your Business Productivity

LearnWorlds is already a highly customizable platform. We additionally support multiple integrations to enhance our platform’s functionality and allow you to shape it into a product that meets your needs 100%. Our list of integrations runs rather long, but here are the ones most relevant to you:

Other integrations you’ll find useful if you decide to monetize your courses are our multiple integrations with email marketing tools, analytics tools, and affiliates. Through our automation tools, you can connect any tool you’re already using, like Salesforce and other CRM platforms.

Report Center: Use Advanced Analytics for Smarter Decision-Making

LearnWorlds offers advanced analytics on learner progress and course performance. Find out not only how many employees have successfully passed your training courses but measure how they interact with your content, average study time, video statistics, number of social interactions, and even compare courses against another in terms of popularity, level of difficulty, and more.

All reports are customizable with filters and can be exported, while some are also eligible for scheduled delivery. Reports on sales history are also available.

Form Builder: Get Direct Learner Feedback With Surveys

Apart from some very detailed analytics, our platform gives you one more tool to gain insights into your course’s performance – the Form Builder. The Form builder enables you to build surveys by choosing among a wide variety of question types, including Linear (with a scale), Star, Heart, or Like Ratings, multiple-choice, video/audio recordings, and more. Alternatively, you can add a survey using Google Forms.

Of course, you can use the Form builder any way you like. You can request course feedback, collect information about your learners, collect course ratings, or capture leads if you’re selling.

Monetization Capabilities: Seize the Opportunity to Profit from Your Sales Training Programs

LearnWorlds additionally offers features that enable you to monetize your courses if you wish.
