Product Details

What is Seismic Learning?

Seismic Learning (formerly Lessonly, acquired by Seismic in August 2021) is training software with an ecosystem of partners, strategy and services that are aligned under the mantra of Do Better Work.


The vendor has worked with over 800 companies to help them train their teams. The vendor says they've learned that the highest performing organizations build their training on the same six pillars:


  • Assess (Gather Needs & Inputs) Listen to people, data, and the market; identify successes and challenges; and accurately assess your sales team's training needs.
  • Plan (Prioritize for Impact) Identify the most essential objectives and outcomes, and intentionally set milestones for creation and delivery.
  • Build (Create Quickly & Collaboratively) Work with teammates at the front lines of the business to develop and iterate on bite-sized training/content.
  • Learn (Meet Learners Where They Are) Push training content to teammates-- anywhere, anytime-- so they can quickly solve problems in their moment of need.
  • Practice (Rehearse, Refine, Repeat) Reinforce skills and information with realistic practice scenarios and receive feedback to fuel improvement.
  • Perform (Doing Better Work) Empower the organization to continuously improve, deliver and quantify results.

Seismic Learning ultimately aims to help organizations to achieve faster onboarding, higher NPS score, more closed deals and a superior customer experience.

We use Lessonly across CS and Sales along with On-Boarding every employee at QGenda. For sales is it a huge component of our weekly and monthly work. We use it to ramp reps, reiterate training, quiz and develop reps. We use it for QGenda specific content or use outside practices to drive behaviors and increase production across the sales org.

Lessonly is being used across our entire company as a way to streamline training. There's training material that goes out to employees based on their role in the company to specify and target their needs. There is also very broad, general training material that goes out when all employees need eyes on it. It's been great to have a single source to go to for training purposes—especially because we can go back and search for/review previous training.

Lessonly is used across our org to onboard and train employees on an ongoing basis (new product releases, competencies, communications, etc.). As a global company, Lessonly has allowed us to scale more effectively. Moreover, they have experts that have helped us create training content — effectively outsourcing this very time-intensive task.

Our business needed to find a collaborative peer-to-peer application to keep content relevant and current for sales and drive productivity and effectiveness. Lessonly meet all of our criteria and even exceeds expectations on the customer experience and platform development ideas. We work in concert to innovate functionality and build engaging learning one lesson at a time.

The Lessonly platform is being used across the entire organization. Department wide the platform helps with new-hire onboarding, company history, processes and procedures. Our client services department utilizes the platform to educate new hires on the quarterly executive business review process and the client upsell opportunities. Our marketing team uses Lessonly to help with brand recognition, white paper discussions and as a centralized location to source documents for sales staff. The product team uses Lessonly to help disseminate new features in our platform, communicate a glossary of terms, FAQ and most recently the education of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

It’s being used across the whole organization (sales, operations, events, marketing, finance, business development, HR, and other departments) for on-boarding, policy distribution and acknowledgment, role training, and as a reference library.

It keeps us in sync with each other (acting as “the source” of almost all company information on processes, best practices, and policies), acts as a key roadmap/resource in every employee’s on-boarding experience, and will soon be our way of storing debriefs on product experiments (for historical context so we can make smarter decisions on how we innovate our business going forward). We also use it more and more as a tool for democratizing the process of documenting best practices, sharing knowledge, and creating training experiences.

Lessonly is used alongside traditional in-classroom teaching and 1:1 coaching as our self-paced learning tool. We have found it to be an invaluable resource as a tool to onboard new employees. It is the primary source of knowledge for product and process information. While used predominantly for Sales and Customer Support, Lessonly helps our front-line employees remain up-to-date with our latest product and process iterations.

Lessonly is currently being used by our content team, which answers to the Director of Support. We use Lessonly internally to build training modules for incoming sales and support employees. We also are currently trying to see if Lessonly might be a good tool to use externally, as we are looking to build out a learning academy for our users. To start, we are building about five lessons that we'll be able to make public to our users, and we will see if the feedback we get from this use of Lessonly is positive. If it is positive, we will use Lessonly to build an entire learning academy for our users.

We are just finalizing our implementation of Lessonly. It will be used across the entire organization as a tool for training & development, communication, employee engagement, and a shared knowledge base.

Our biggest business problem is that our growth is creating difficulties and obstacles in properly training our employees consistently and on time. We span over 28 states, and we need to create connection and cohesion in our learning. Currently, it is disjointed or non-existent.

Lessonly is used across our entire organization. For our global company, Lessonly has been a critical tool in helping us scale and communicate information quickly and effectively. It gives our managers a first-line view into progress and learning development while providing trainers and enablement professionals an easy tool to quickly create content in a user-friendly manner.

Lessonly is used across our entire organization and has allowed us to deliver on-demand learning opportunities for both new and existing employees. We've built a robust orientation, on-boarding, and continuing education program within Lessonly. The Lessonly platform makes it easy to administer, develop, and track the trainings we offer. We are able to easily democratize the sharing of knowledge by allowing any employee to become a Lesson creator in the our Lessonly portal.

We use Lessonly as our LMS Software across our global offices. While it was primarily implemented for our sales enablement and services teams, other departments have started relying on it as well. We use Lessonly to push training content to new hires and product updates to existing employees as well. We are hopeful that Lessonly will help us centralize and standardize our internal employee training.

We use Lessonly across the whole organization. We use it to onboard new hires, as well as provide essential skills, industry and corporate training. Lessonly allows us to scale our training and development as we grow. It is also the first time we have been able to track the training and development engagement of our employees.

It is being used across the whole organization. I am in sales and it is used for a significant portion of our enablement efforts. I have also been on the grading side of it as we use it for onboarding mentorships as well as the ongoing enablement needs. In general, I feel it is very easy to use from both sides.

We use Lessonly primarily in our Camper Support department for on-boarding and continuing ed of on-site employees as well as an on-boarding and leadership development tool for our partner trainers in the field who work remotely in their own regions. It keeps our training consistent, fresh, and progress trackable with its grade book feature.

We are utilizing Lessonly across our entire organization. Lessonly helps us onboard our new-hires in a timely fashion as well as adding supplementary content as the industry changes around us. Lessonly is also used to help train our existing employees around changes in policies, procedures, or the industry we work within. Lessonly helps us not only scale our efforts, but it helps cut down on wasted time. Stop scheduling meeting after meeting to only reach a small selection of people and let Lessonly get the full audience tuned in when they have the availability to tune in.

We use it primarily in Sales but also occasionally in our Business Development team. It is used to onboard new sales reps, communicate product updates, and share relevant sales training information weekly. It has helped us reduce rep ramp time and helped reduce the amount of time managers were spending in redundant onboarding meetings.
