If you're a T&B sales rep located far from the company's headquarters, how do you keep up with the latest training information without leaving home? By visiting IMPACT — the new centralized Sales Training Portal located in the Electrical VMO (Vertical Market Opportunity) intranet site.
The portal offers a one-stop-shop for T&B sales reps and agents to access information about vertical markets and product sales training. Under the new training platform, PowerU, the IMPACT Sales Training Portal is just one component of Thomas & Betts' new training platform including e-learning, and ACCELERATE new hire training.
"By providing sales and support services managers with guidelines for training curriculums and offering a repository of course material on products, markets and other key learning variables, the training needs for our employees can be customized to meet real-time needs," said Fawn Hentrel, sales training manager.
Some of the highlights of the portal include a universal calendar that displays trade-show, product and performance training offerings, on-demand webinars, job functional training curriculums, training request forms, course one sheets, catalogs and much more. For registered participants, getting access to the latest and archived content is as easy as 1-2-3: log on, click the area of interest and dive in.
"T&B is positioned to continue to take our training global as we continue to address the various learning needs of our sales reps and agents," said Tim Collins, director of sales services, Electrical.
"By positioning T&B to deliver its training platform via several modes, we will look to continue to find ways to create training initiatives that are not only relevant for our present and future, but align with our overall business strategy linking to our initiatives of being an employer and brand of choice," said Fawn.
While the program was designed with sales reps in mind, any T&B employee or agent can register to access the training materials at verticalmarketportal.brainkeeper.net. You can sign-up for RSS feeds to get updated electronically when new events are added.
