Why "Quick Take" modules?

Short-form: Just six to 10 minutes long. Today's adult learners can't sit for extended periods of time absorbing training material.

Single-Concept: Teaching people just one concept at a time vastly increases the likelihood that learning will be retained and deployed successfully. Each program delivers a single "aha moment".

Research-based: Learners that perceive their training as credible drives a higher level of behavior change.

The research says you’ll get high engagement and high knowledge retention if you structure training events in short segments that focus on one, research-based concept, not three, or four or five.

Here’s a summary of what you’ll learn in each of the modules:

Customer Engagement: Why YOU Need to Drive It (6:41)

Customers sometimes send signals that they’re no longer interested in doing business with you. They stop returning your calls, they cut their spending, and generally seem indifferent about your products and services. In this module, you’ll learn the results of a Wharton study that reveals which customers are most – and least – likely to leave, a common but deadly mistake that leads salespeople to disengage from buyers, and a simple mantra that will ensure you never lose a customer through disengagement.

The Most Dangerous Question in Sales and How to Avoid It (8:10)

“How are we doing?” It sounds like a win-win sales question, right? But asking “How are we doing?” can backfire and undermine the relationship you seek to build. In this module, you’ll learn: Why you shouldn’t ask your customers to judge your performance, why asking for feedback in the wrong way can damage your relationship with your customer and cost you sales, and three ideas to help get the feedback you need – and build customer satisfaction.
