I love the site, but how can I motivate my employees to use the website?

Happy salesman using laptop and smiling.

Most sales people will quickly discover that the website actually helps them sell more. For really reluctant sales teams, retailers tell us that they hold contests to motivate their sales staff. They offer bonuses to the sales person who sells the most during a given period of time. To participate in the contest, the sales person must complete a certain amount of progress in the training.

Why isn't my completed test showing up in my records?

Beautiful blonde business woman smiling and using laptop.

For security reasons the website will "timeout" after 15 minutes of inactivity. You probably stepped away from the computer for an extended period of time and were automatically logged out. Therefore, your score was not attributed to your account. Go ahead and log into the website and take the test again.
