We want to share our secret to creating great-looking, fully functional learning management systems for our clients: the magnificent world of open-source software! We use WordPress and the myriad of beautiful themes available to give training portals a high-design look with interactive functionality. For the ability to launch courses and quizzes and to track a learner’s progress and scores we use SCORM Cloud – this plug-in is a miracle worker! All of the reports and functionality you need to manage and maintain your e-learning efforts without all of the complications of traditional LMS’s. And best of all we can pass down their super affordable pricing to each and every one of our clients!

To Train or Not To Train?

The majority of our clients have faced this dilemma at one time or another. With most of their business coming from their wholesale distribution they worry about imparting sales skills that can be used to sell their competitors’ products. It is a difficult choice to make, but consider this: gaining the loyalty of your sales associates is as important as gaining customer loyalty.
When a sales associate is faced with an indecisive customer they will invariably tend towards presenting models from their favorite brand. After all, it is so much easier to sell something you love. So how can you ensure that sales associates feel invested in your brand?

Invest in their development.

We are always amazed at the results we get for our clients when we conduct sales and leadership seminars for their distributors. The spike in sales is just the beginning. Imagine being the brand responsible for the feeling of empowerment that they take away. Imagine being the brand they credit with the increased success that they are able to achieve. Imagine being the brand they will forever associate with an experience of growth and inspiration.

What is all this worth? An experience that transcends the world of business and enters the realm of passion.

The passion they will have for your brand.

Affordable E-Learning?

Absolutely! E-learning isn’t what it used to be. It’s no longer necessary to put up with large investments of time and money, confusing learning management systems, and ho-hum looking training sites. If what you need are fun and effective courses, a user-friendly tracking and reporting system, and engaging site design to capture your people’s interest… let the Cloud and The Curiosity Shop lead the way.

We use the best open-source applications together with rapid course development software to create affordable and comprehensive e-learning programs. Contact us today to find out how we can customize your online training to your brand identity, language, and learning needs.

Cool Training?

You bet! In the course of designing training programs, we incorporate our client’s unique identity to create an immersive experience that will really speak to the learners. Like the Da Vinci Code Mystery we staged at the Miami Art Museum to teach our client’s staff about the brand’s ties to the world of contemporary art. Like holding a poetry workshop to teach sales staff how to properly “romance” a product. Like partnering with Miami Jewelry School to have trainees learn the value of craftsmanship by actually trying their own (amateur) hand at it.

All of these workshops were born from the creative collaboration we form with our clients and our belief that it is indeed possible to teach without putting people to sleep. Ready to discover your organization’s cool factor? Contact us today!

Learning Happens?

Yes it does. All day. Everyday. Sure, people learn from training workshops and online courses, but they also learn from quick chats with co-workers, interesting articles, the latest viral video, and their vast array of “friends.” Instead of pushing your people to take your training, let The Curiosity Shop design a program that takes your training to the places they already go…

It just makes sense to use today’s popular social media applications and information channels as tools to reach your organization’s objectives rather than spending countless hours and dollars on fighting against them. Let us help you create an innovative culture where learning happens naturally and success follows suit.
