Posted by Most often we prefer ‘walk-the-talk’, ‘internet-on-the-go’ and several other mobile technological solutions. Every business sector is now trying new methods to train its employees and to bring in a change in their learning curve so as to gain an edge among their competitors. Once you’re out in the real world, class room training becomes obsolete. There are several ways to keep yourself updated and mobile phones seem to be a prime choice among many. These mobile gadgets come in handy especially when you are on the go and are indeed a treasure for all those sales personnel who often spend most of their days on field. Be it door-to-door sales or business-to-business, sales representatives have one thing in common: They have no time to spare, especially for class-room trainings. Various mobile learning technologies are now banking on this fact to make hay.
How it started?
Companies took their time in moving from the traditional classroom training to online training methods using desktops and laptops. Now this did not seem like a favorable move according the sales teams and the ‘why?’ is an obvious. These sales representatives were mostly on field and transition from one stable place like the classroom to another like the cubicle was not all that phenomenal. It was not long before the trainers realized this gaping hole and found the one viable option that could be the answer. Mobile learning has now become the rage among sales representatives when it comes to training.
Why is it a treasure?
