Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lessonly Knowledge is an incredibly powerful knowledge platform that allows our team to capture and manage all of our knowledge and documentation in one centralized hub. Lessonly allows for content verification, analytics, reporting, request management, and workflow management. It is an amazing tool for providing ongoing lessons, enablement, coaching, skills assessment and up-leveling.

Pros

  • Teams can ramp up training very quickly with personalized coaching at scale.
  • Sales acceleration and enablement with the right tutorials and templates.
  • On-demand practice exercises allow reps to learn and accelerate skills rapidly.

Cons

  • I would love to see further integrations with other sales enablement platforms and tools as enterprises typically implement more than one solution across teams.
  • Collaboration integrations and APIs can be more comprehensive.
  • There should be a way to interact with peers and ask questions with your cohort who are in the tool.

Most Important Features

  • Sales content management and training modules
  • Gamification model calls for great interactivity between team members
  • Onboarding and skills certifications for teams

Return on Investment

  • Honing skills of reps about 1.8X-2X faster

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've used this tool at both my current organization and my previous one. It's a great training tool that our sales team uses weekly. The SDR team focuses on gaining product knowledge and Lessonly Knowledge delivers on that. it's easy to use the tool and in my current experience, I have been using it to ramp up as an account manager. I've noticed that this tool is great for learning and gaining an edge but also for ramping new employees or internal promotions.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Great customer support
  • Great onboarding

Cons

  • Ability to get users to use it more often

Most Important Features

  • Onboarding
  • Customer support
  • Easy of use

Return on Investment

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Before Lessonly, we were using a pretty old LMS that was hard to use and update. Lessonly helped us to create more content more quickly and distribute it company-wide. We use Lessonly for company-wide courses, onboarding, and any continuing education. We have even used it to update teams on new products and services we offer.

Pros

  • It's incredibly easy to build content.
  • Able to distribute content quickly.
  • Great reporting on what courses are being taken and who is taking them.
  • Reminders and notifications are great.

Cons

  • Reports can be a little tricky at first. It's not as "built out" as the other parts of the platform.
  • If you're wanting to sell or offer courses to people outside of your organization, this might not be the best software for you.

Most Important Features

  • Easy to use lesson builder
  • Auto reminders for courses
  • registrations for live events

Return on Investment

  • The biggest impact is time savings in creating courses. What used to take one person several hours to do, now takes less than an hour of time. It was incredible to see the impact.
  • The other area it affected (less hard to quantify) is how the content itself became more accessible. Because the content is in the same format and in a library of other courses, people have become more inclined to take more courses than just the one assigned. There are also way more course creators now than ever before because of just how easy it is to make courses.
