Why Traditional Training Doesn\u2019t Work<\/b><\/h2>\n

Traditional training methods just don\u2019t work. Whether it has ever worked is up for debate, but recent studies show that the way a lot of businesses have been working to get their staff engaged and educated just isn\u2019t the way to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Video training is one great example. Studies show that with a 40-minute lecture or training video, most people only remember about 20% of the information. For a 15 minute video, that increases to around 40%, but that might not be enough to get across all the information you have. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, that retention is only immediate retention. Furthering that study shows that within six-day, only 25% of the information is usually retained. <\/span><\/p>\n

Product training for sales<\/a> that makes your employees feel engaged <\/a>and part of the team is best for your team. When you have someone just sitting and watching a video, there is a disconnect between the employee and the business. <\/span><\/p>\n
