What is extended enterprise training?
Extended enterprise training is any training you offer to anyone outside of your
organisation. This includes partners, such as vendors, consultants, or external sales reps.
The training you offer to customers and clients, demonstrating how to use your products and
services would also count as extended enterprise training.
Enterprise training solutions are essential to creating a positive experience of your
company, and building effective, successful relationships with partners and customers
alike.
Examples of extended enterprise learning
Partner training
Extended enterprise training is also used to train resellers and global partners in
the benefits of your products and services. Many of these partners will be providing
products and services from a range of competing companies. A partner who understands
and is confident in your product will typically provide far better sales than one
who lacks this kind of familiarity.
Customer training
One of the biggest uses of enterprise training is to empower customers to make the
most of your product. Often called “customer training academies”, this type of
extended enterprise training results in an improved customer experience and greater
renewal and upselling rates.
3 benefits of extended enterprise training
An extended enterprise training system operates as onboarding for anyone who isn’t an
employee of your company, and it carries many of the same benefits… and a few more on top.
1.
Hit the ground running
Partners and customers who go through your enterprise training programme are
able to get great results from your products and services, right from day 1.
Having clear, structured training allows customers to identify key features and
tools that make their lives easier. They quickly learn the true value of your
products, improving customer satisfaction and, ultimately, retention. Partners
are able to quickly understand the key advantages of your offering, allowing
them to act on your behalf with confidence.
2.
Ensure high engagement
Your R&D teams devote huge resources to creating exciting features and new
offerings, because you know that these are valuable to your clients. Until your
customers are actually using them, however, these features are simply a sunk
cost.
Customers who engage with enterprise e-learning use more features of your
product. This provides them with better results and offers a meaningful
demonstration of the ways in which you are able to solve their problems.
Partners who understand and engage with your products regularly, and who have
benefited from enterprise training, will feel more confident suggesting your
products and are likely to provide significantly higher ROI than those who only
engage with your offerings occasionally.
3.
Free up your customer support teams
Many companies have used the COVID pandemic as an excuse for poor customer
service. This might have been tolerated in the first few months, but no longer.
Companies that maintain high levels of customer service are being rewarded with
great customer loyalty.
Extended enterprise learning allows customers to find the solutions to common
questions quickly and easily. This saves them time and also reduces the burden
on your customer support teams. With more time to spare, customer support teams
are able to respond quickly to those customers who need their support and can
devote their efforts to more complex problems.
3 considerations for an enterprise training system
Keep it engaging and relevant
Partners or customers taking part in your enterprise training may not be fully
invested in your company. Their attention and motivation for training can’t be
assumed. Keep them engaged by ensuring that your training is both relevant and
engaging.
Make sure it’s convenient
Asking new partners to come into your office (or providing a trainer in their
workplace) can sometimes be a viable solution, but it’s not feasible long term.
Training needs to be an ongoing process, and partners need to be able to access it
in a way that is convenient for them. Ideally, this would be online and available
24/7.
Fresh your content frequently
Dated training can be a chore to sit through — it also fails to answer the questions
partners want to ask. Ensuring your enterprise training system is easy to update allows
you to add new products and services and provide rapid solutions to emerging problems.
