CompUSA gets up to 25% jump in sales thanks to e-learning program

Here is an article that brings home tangible results of a good blended learning mix which without abandoning the traditional added a significant measure of e-learning.

Why the success?
1. A good learning mix (traditional vs. e-learning
2. Ability to "distribute the right kind of training at the right time to the people who need it most"
3. Just-in-time e-learning; “So as soon as it’s in stores, our employees are trained to sell it.”
4. In-context-learning: Right timing also provides a context that employees can relate to resulting in better cross-sell products, for example.
5. "The online system offers more flexibility in presenting multiple types of training that cater to the different learning needs"
6. More interactive training is provided online
7. Priming up the learner by preceding the course with broadcasts.

The above steps can be successfully implemented by just about any company and while we cannot all expect 10 to 25% increase in sales, a respectable increase in sales is certainly something we can realistically aim for.
