New alliance allows retailers to train sales staff on the web
PRLog - Oct. 15, 2013 - KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Best-selling author and publisher Rick Segel & Associates (RSA) has selected Tallahassee-based Turnip Digital, Inc. as their strategic partner and online provider for its internationally-recognized sales training program. This unique alliance will allow RSA to offer their content in an online, self-paced platform and opens the door for joint development of new content and training programs.
“Client requests to provide our content online convinced us that this was something we needed to do - and do quickly,” explained Matthew Hudson, president of RSA. “We chose to work with Turnip Digital because their core values align with ours and their platform allows our global customer base to access our programs easily, learn at their own pace, and receive the same high quality information we deliver in the classroom.”
Hudson explained that the day-to-day routine of retail sales staff requires an innovative approach to training, one where they can consume content in “chunks” and outside of a traditional classroom. At the same time, it was extremely important to RSA that core principles of learning were not sacrificed for convenience. According to Hudson, “The soon-to-be-launched online learning portal will not only make it easier for sales staff to learn anywhere, but will also allow retailers to access our results-oriented programs without taking staff off the sales floor for an extended period of time.”
Turnip Digital president, Jon Crumpacker, added, “Our partnership with Rick Segel and Associates provides a unique opportunity to work with an acclaimed and internationally-recognized organization as well as combine our creative and technical skills to benefit learners and their employers.”
The first program to launch will be the Retail Sales Bible’s G.R.E.A.T. Selling Certification Program. It includes the content from the popular book by the same name and over two hours of video with “real-retail” role-play vignettes showing the “how” and not just the “what” of successful selling.
Rick Segel and Matthew Hudson are the authors of 18 books, including two editions of the best selling Retail Business Kit for Dummies which has sold over 1,000,000 copies and has been translated into 7 languages. Their much-anticipated book Signs Sell will be released January 2014.
The G.R.E.A.T. Selling Certification Program is available now at ricksegel.com and includes special pre-launch pricing and incentives.
