Customer training

You can reduce support costs, acquire new customers and build loyalty in existing customers by offering them training online!

Since your customers are already in the cloud, it only makes sense to provide them with customer training where they are already located and interacting. Sharing and engaging with content online has become the norm and customers expect companies to provide them with modern support and training in the cloud, they can then do in their own time, at their own pace, and on the go!

Supporting and servicing customers can be expensive and providing online training can cut these costs and at the  same  time  increase  customer  satisfaction,  loyalty and retention. What’s more, online customer training is a great way to gain product / service feedback!

Customer training might also be used as a selling point to acquire potential consumers. A buyer may feel more secure about a purchase knowing they will receive free online training. Of course if this content is also freely available   online   it   can   be   leveraged   by   sales   or marketing  departments  -  customers  can  for  example take a look at the training before they buy the product or service to get a better overview of the features and functionality.

Oftentimes online courses are more user-friendly and much less cumbersome than reading a manual or guide so online customer training courses certainly have the advantage.

The term “e-learning” has only been in existence since 1999, when the word was first utilized at a CBT systems seminar. Other words also began to spring up in search of an accurate description such as “online learning” and “virtual learning”. However, the principles behind e- learning    have   been   well   documented   throughout history, and there is even evidence which suggests that early forms of e-learning existed as far back as the 19th century.
