Virtual Classroom easily saved us tens of thousands of dollars, and made crucial training a reality. Being able to train our 150 salespeople simultaneously via the Web enabled us to profit from the technology more quickly while saving us thousands in travel and related expenses for onsite trainers. Since sales automation necessitates ease with using the telephone and computer at the same time, AppShare enables salespeople to get comfortable with the technology right away - a crucial phase in the automaton process. Professionals taking a virtual class share more than open Newmarket applications. Real-world experiences and innovative suggestions for problem solving and maximizing efficiencies become part of the course content.
Collaboration creates synergy.
The demand for Virtual Classroom is transforming Newmarket, which began with one VC trainer in June 2000 and will have over 25 by the end of 2001. Though traveling the world to train was a perk, most Newmarket trainers find the wired world equally exciting. It builds a community while at the same time encourages and even necessitates greater interaction. At all times, every participant is learning, even the instructor. Newmarket is also leveraging Virtual Classroom's interactivity to make the entire automation process run more smoothly.
