Editor's Notes
New questions: why did corporate sales small business? Why did healthcare all opt-in?
Add visual of wheel – need something simple, customizable… where we knew we could help CDW – where we could help with pull as well as push of sales training… here’s what we delivered: integration of BV into learning platform into curated content…
Here’s what we learned:
Participation – see tremendous effect… did drive behavior because it’s consuming more b/c it’s valuable
And then in our results
If we were to drive continuous learning mindset, we were able to assign a requirement – I expect you to earn 50 points every month; the way you complete 50 points is you earn 5; love to see badges and love to see themselves at the top of the leaderboard
We are a leading provider of IT Services
For business, government, healthcare, and education
We know our sellers are wasting time going out to find content that is (1) relevant to them as a seller and is (2) accurate.
Curate content – we couldn’t keep up with the amount of content, let alone the speed of change.
Connect Learning to Sales – our vision is to tie learning to sales. Not just learning for learning sake.
Promote Leaders – we wanted a way to score sellers and promote those getting the most from the offer. Sellers like to know what other sellers are doing & we knew this was a critical part of making our program the pull we wanted.
Our approach with the technology was to leverage what we had. We have Oracle’s Learn platform and we needed a platform for the gamification. Badgeville also allowed us to grow the design. Although we were starting with learning, we had our vision to tie to sales and their platform would allow us to tie to the learning, our sales platform and any other platform as we grew.
Pilot Duration: Approximately 90 days - Q1 2015
Complete 5 Training Modules Per Month - view content, pass assessment
Featured content will change 1st week of every month
Complete focus areas selected by Sales Leadership (GetSmart, etc.)
Secondary - AM choice of topics
Approximately 1 Hour Time Investment per month
We have planned 9 categories so far, 6 are up and running. 5 for pilot & Servers just activated. Future categories include CDW Services, Datacenter – Power, and UCC.
There is also foundational training for newer folks. It can help support Academy, other team trainings, scheduled partner trainings, and other action items managers give their teams.

We need Sales Manager support to be successful. Our team creates the communications around the AM expectations and the “go-live” announcements. The SMs follow up with communications with their teams.
It also helps if the SMs know what is being asked of the AMs, so we would like the SMs to view the portal and see what training topics are offered each month. This could help the SMs to align other training opportunities, like bringing in Partners or S3 for team trainings or lunch and learn. As well as following up with AMs on the job.
Finally Reporting - A monthly completion report is posted to the LearnCenter, and the SM should review their team’s completion and follow up with AMs who are doing an outstanding job as well as those who are behind their peers. The pilot only works if we have AMs consuming the training, and we need SMs to help make that happen.
Feedback from Ams:
Plus side
Short and sweet is more effective than long and drawn out
The experience was very informative and concise, perfect for fitting into a busy schedule
I thought the content was exceptionally valuable for learning new technologies
Constructive side
Too many things being thrown at us, not enough time in the day
For someone who is still new I was hoping the videos would have been more in-depth
What can I use the points for?
Rebuilt Manager participation – average of 3 months
April = first full month of Badgeville – Points, Badging, Leaderboards
72 Unique AMs participating versus 74 in March
518 total views in April by our Pilot audience compared to 408 in March
Average views by each Pilot AM: 7.19 courses compared to 5.51 in March
Average completions per AM - 6.51 compared to 4.18 in March, a 56% increase!
At the end of the 3 month pilot, the content will continue to flow, but we’ll draw a line in the sand for measurement purposes to see how we are doing.
We’ll look at - how much learning was executed? Were all of the categories successful? And if not, why not?
We’ll also review the data from the monthly surveys. These will ask the AMs to rate their confidence in that solution category. Obviously taking a 5 minute training on a solution area won’t move the needle much. The hypothesis is that over time, repetition of many small nuggets on the same category will lead to an increase in aptitude and confidence in selling that category. Even a 10% lift would be huge given the short time frame.
