NovoEd vs. Sandler Training

NovoEd is well suited for synchronous and asynchronous training. Best suited if you want to leverage social components, discussions, assignments and peer-to-peer learning. We run global cohorts to take advantage of the diversity and create community. That works great. I think that when you need to leverage other design options, in an example, add features to display content in other ways, other types of design even in page layout, then you have limited options (but I haven't found any other better than Novoed in this space). Reports are useful, but more options would be appreciated

I can't think of an industry that this wouldn't apply to. It's great for SMB, mid market and enterprise selling.

• Easy to upload content and videos and easy to edit and modify. Allows to program when a module or section can be launched and to schedule specific communication messages to audience. Assignments can be approved to review the quality of deliverables.
• The peer-to-peer learning features in NovoEd are great. Discussions allow to connect with the author of the discussion and also with peers. Peers can see other peer’s comments and submissions and comment and learn from those.
• User friendly, easy to navigate and structure easy to understand
• Leaderboard so participants can see how they are doing compared to others

Incentivized

• Parametrized training with key sales faces to have some common practices
• Share useful content and frameworks that the team can reference to and continue learning afterwads
• Have various certified teachers / coaches for continuos learning and working real life situations
• Clear and "simple" methodology to use

Incentivized

• The options to design a page are limited: page width, navigation, margins, headers, etc. Design feels limited
• Does not allow for a lot of customization. All pages flow in the same way so after a few courses, feels repetitive
• I am not a technical expert, so I do not know how to embed html content to create other options to display content, in an example: sections that open when you click, etc.
• To have different languages, you have to clone the course and translate and create a separate course.

Incentivized

• Sandler is very effective when there is in person training, aware this is difficult to do in a virtual world
• Sandler could employ some additional prospecting techniques, like Costigan cold calling training
• Sometimes the process is too rigid, and sales reps need to adjust style based on what the customer is specifically requesting (not 1 size fits all)

Incentivized

Much more user-friendly, easy to use. The LMS (Saba and cornerstone) are not user-friendly, tons of more clicks are needed to arrive at a course. We decided on Novoed because of the user experience for end users. LMS very focused on compliance and tracking and not in user experience. Fuse was much more social than our strategy, there every user can upload content. We wanted still to have the discipline of having instructional design, goals, etc, so Fuse was not an option.

I stick by Sandler to this day, and would recommend all Sales Leaders adopt at least a little bit of Sandler training. Why? It has helped so much to win and close deals -for all reps, at any stage of their sales career. Costigan helps with cold calling, but Sandler assists with the ENTIRE deal cycle

Incentivized

• Very high participants engagement & participation (completion)
• Social components allows to avoid an isolated experience

Incentivized

• We have had a positive ROI based on the speed junior sales people have been able to mature their craft.
• The training delivery is available both online or in group training sessions which allows flexibility on how we train our sales team.
• Sandler Training has become the cornerstone of a lot of our sales processes.
