Organisations

A partner and influencer Academy will transform your internal and external resellers, partners, and referrers so they can credibly and confidently advocate your products and services.

Partner education can be highly effective for organizations with a wide footprint and multiple routes to market.

It’s especially effective when products or services are complex, highly competitive, and customizable.

Case Study: Healthcare

For decades, pharmaceutical companies relied on medical reps to visit healthcare professionals (HCPs) in person, delivering education, product brochures, samples, and updates during brief, face-to-face meetings.

Reps built relationships and tailored their pitch based on specialties and patient needs. However, they often faced scheduling and gatekeeping challenges and limited time for meaningful scientific exchange. Geography, travel, and costs constrained the reach and frequency of interactions.

Online education has revolutionized how HCPs learn about pharmaceutical products. It allows HCPs and staff to conveniently access on-demand training, clinical data, and product videos.

Interactive courses and virtual events offer consistent messaging and deeper insights—without disrupting clinical schedules. The best part? Detailed analytics can be correlated to product sales and recommendations to prove ROI.

Case Study: Automotive Franchise

Traditionally, automotive franchises relied on in-person training to educate franchisees and store staff.

Field reps would visit franchises to provide product catalogs, introduce new products, and updates on pricing and promotions. Training was time-consuming, costly, and limited in frequency. Knowledge gaps were common, especially when high staff turnover or product lines were updated quickly.

Today, business-critical information can be delivered accurately and promptly across franchise networks with an online academy. Franchisees and their teams can access product training, installation guides, sales tips, and other critical business information anytime, anywhere.

Interactive courses, video walkthroughs, and certification ensure consistent knowledge across locations—without the need for travel or downtime. New hires can get up to speed quickly, and seasoned pros can refresh their expertise on demand.

An online Academy ensures every touchpoint—from the front counter to the service and fitment center—has access to accurate, up-to-date information. This boosts customer confidence and empowers staff to sell smarter and confidently support complex repairs.
