Machines can automate tasks, but they can’t replace the human art of winning hearts and minds. In a world run by bots, AI, and automation, influence is the differentiator that makes professionals effective, memorable, and indispensable.  

Every time a new generation enters the workforce, we complain about them. Gen X frustrated the Boomers; we all rolled our eyes when Millennials joined our teams; now we have Gen Zs… But this time, it turns out that, unlike any previous generation, this current one really is differently motivated—in scientifically significant ways. And those ways greatly impact the types of learning experiences they demand.    

Learning as an adult is hard. Indeed, it’s much harder than when we were kids and our brains had the plasticity of learning sponges. Today, our time at work is stretched too thin with a myriad of responsibilities and ever-changing priorities. Our attention is constantly sapped by a barrage of Slack messages, emails, texts, phone calls, and meetings. Our egos batted about like piñatas by near-constant feedback. So, it’s no wonder that when it comes time to take an elearning course at work, it’s natural that our defenses go up. You ask yourself, why should I take time from my crazy busy schedule to learn something marginally useful for my job, won’t fully engage me, will cause me to fall further behind on my long list of to-do’s, will make me feel like an idiot when I get questions wrong on the quiz, and which I’ll forget before the week is out?  

Imagine if you had direct input from more than 2,000 CEOs and senior executives on exactly what makes a salesperson indispensable to them. Soon, you will.

Download this IDC research report to discover how enterprises have driven $1.8M in annual benefits and a 467% 3-yr ROI with a single technology investment.

Most organizations rely on standard collaboration tools to deliver virtual training, but collaboration isn’t the same as learning. When tools aren’t built to support instructional goals, engagement suffers, and outcomes fall short.  

Stale training events. Rusty delivery methods. "That’s the way we’ve always done it" mindsets. Sound familiar?  

Showing the ROI of learning is hard, but in today’s environment of cost reduction and efficiency, it's essential. Innovation, growth, and resilience through change require learning, not just for your employees, but also for your partners and customers.
