I’ve got too much money and not enough places to spend it! Chances are, if you are reading this article, these words have never come out of your mouth. With demand for training outreaching supply by a widening margin, this puts tremendous pressure on L&D teams to invest in the right solution. An entire book could be written on whether this money should be spent on leadership , customer support , onboarding , etc., so we have decided to only focus on one item in this article: sales training.

Trying to have a conversation with someone who “already knows everything” is like talking to a wall. Nothing you have to say matters because they’ll automatically tune you out. To them, the “conversation” is either a waste of time or a way to show off their own smarts. Learners can fall into this pattern too. It often happens because 1) they really do know their stuff and don’t think they have anything left to learn or 2) because they’re new and insecure.

Earlier this year I predicted that micro-learning would be on the rise as learners become picky over the content they consume. The good news is that you can get in on this trend by making some simple changes to your online courses. There are a variety of strategies (many of which I have already outlined ) that you can implement today. One area that you will definitely need to address in your course is the length of your videos.

How do you know how to budget and plan for digital learning? For some time the industry has priced elearning by the hour – a course of 20 hours will cost more than one that’s just 20 minutes.

One of the issues with branching scenarios is that you can get exponential growth. If each choice has 3 options, you end up with 9 slides after just 2 choices, and 27 after 3 choices. This is 40 pages total with only 3 decisions per path.
