Your business success hinges on your internal team and extended enterprise—your customers, partners, resellers, contractors, distributors, and more. This network collaborates to achieve a shared purpose, relying on each other for knowledge and goal achievement.
Leaders rarely have complete control over their company's operations or reputation within an extended enterprise. Success in this context requires leading through influence, with alignment dependent on effective communication of vision, purpose, and standards.
An extended enterprise LMS can help promote these standards through learning and certification. For instance, it can provide training modules on principles, standards, and methods and issue a certification upon completion. This supports your vision and purpose not just through messaging but also through education.
Customer Training: A Pillar of Your Brand's Credibility
Training your customers equips them with the knowledge they need to interact effectively with your products, enhancing their sense of support. This raises awareness of your products and services and fosters a swift understanding of your culture and value proposition, reinforcing your credibility and encouraging repeat business.
Scale Your Business with Partner Training
Partner training offers many benefits. You seamlessly integrate your partners into your culture by providing foundational knowledge during onboarding. Advanced sales training empowers your partners with the insights to boost your sales. Enabling your partners to handle common customer questions and guide them in finding solutions can lower your churn rate and improve your net promoter score.
Training Distributors and Resellers Drives Profitability
Your distributors and resellers need real-time information to perform at their best. Keeping them informed supports the sales process with product knowledge, product update information, and technical insights. Well-trained sales staff sell more, leading to higher revenue and employee retention.
Maximize Supply Chain Efficiency by Training Your Suppliers
Maintaining strong relations with your suppliers is essential for business improvement. Training your suppliers on quality standards, product specifications, and packaging requirements helps them stay compliant and understand your needs. Training your suppliers on business and management can help them handle deals and tasks better, discover new strategies that align with your business goals, and drive success.
Franchise Training: Ensuring Quality Across Your Ecosystem
Training your franchises helps ensure that all your business units uphold your values and quality standards and operate as you expect. This standardizes your business across the ecosystem so customers can count on quality wherever they go.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."
According to a Brandon Hall Study in 2017, "Extended Enterprise Learning: Generating Revenue and Adding Value:"
- 40% of organizations generated revenue via extended enterprise learning, with almost one-third of those organizations recouping more than half of their LMS costs.
- 56% of organizations said their extended enterprise learning efforts are effective or very effective, considerably better than overall learning effectiveness.
