Brainshark is very user-friendly and it’s very easy to create learning content, even a beginner could walk through it fairly easily. They also have a great support team and help site that can pretty much answer any question with video tutorials.
In customer prospecting through cold contact, "cold mailing" is a very cost-effective practice and is widely used in the U.S. market, particularly for selling saas software and high-cost business services. (In my case it is used for selling insurance policies). We generally find several saas (i.e., monthly paid) email contact generation software on the market, generally found on linkedin and freely accessible. But this is not enough, you need software for sending emails (additional cost) and it must be specific to cold mailing otherwise you end up in spam. And you need a CRM, not all cold mailing software has that! Additional cost is for paid email verification and you have to waste time uploading and downloading the excel files to be verified and derived from the verification... then adapt them to the cold mailing software... A yes, not all cold mailing software has email warmers and many do not warm all types of emails (instead Sales.Rocks warmed because of my emails from an unknown hosting that no system warmed...). But if you had one software that does everything in one platform without driving you crazy switching between them, especially if you have large volumes of emailing and with the ability to track everything, create email sequences based on funnel-like behaviors, schedule phone calls or maybe an initial linkedin message from your Sales.Rocks linked account ... well, Sales.Rocks is all of that, and with support that lets you know how serious the company is. It's an expensive product for a freelancer like me, but it's unique, and for a structured company it's simply beneficial and has a huge return.
I love how easy creating a Brainshark and their formal learning is to use. Upload an animated Power Point, record audio, add music, or use videos etc.
Their formal learning also keeps track of people in classes, allows us to invite people to a curricula, send notifications when classes are added, and update on the fly without having to resubmit all new classes.
I also love that people in classes can run their own transcript and see where they are in a program, and if graded how they scored.
Our customers (internal employees) have expressed desired for online learning and we have received positive feedback on the Brainshark modules used in eLearning and communications. We are also increasing usage at the project level as the word spreads about the benefits of using Brainshark.
BrainShark is great for those with beginner and intermediate level software skills. It doesn't take a programming genius to get up and running with this application.
I'm always able to access Brainshark, whether it is to upload, record, share, download, or view presentations. Whenever I do need to contact someone at Brainshark, there is always someone there. I have never had a problem accessing a presentation and any updates to presentations are viewable immediately.
We've found a few glitches and needed some branding updated. Each time we've called, they were super responsive and cared about my issue as much as I did! They've even helped me (and another vendor) figure out how to have this other outside software integrate with theirs to achieve an even greater presentation. I'm super impressed with their Customer Service people.
The training is easy to use. You can take as little or as much as you need. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There is a variety of training you can take. There are mini lessons, courses, and webinars. The folks at Brainshark truly want to help you have the best presentation possible.
There are a lot of sites that allow you to host/share content in the loud. What won for me was their tracking, analytics, and reporting. At the time there was nobody even close to Brainshark and I have not seen anything since that would make me want to switch. I look forward to many years working with them.
Saleshandy, Hexospark, Getmails, Postaga. Mature product like Saleshandy, constantly updated for further improvements like Saleshandy and Hexospark. Sales.Rocks is the opposite of Getmails: the former has a myriad of features and a dashboard that gives you control like a NASA technician! But that is not why it is difficult to use. Getmails is super simple, wants to do everything automatically saving time for nerds like me who get curious and waste time trying every menu.
Client satisfaction - we send out summaries of our big webcasts/conference calls via Brainshark. We've received lots of replies stating they love the format because they can consume the information on their own time.
Time to market - before Brainshark, it took several days, if not weeks to work with a design team to get professional-looking summaries available. Now, we have the process down to a day or two.
