IMPROVE SALES FORCE READINESS
relevant, interesting and engaging.
Vodafone, the world's second-largest mobile
telecommunications company with a customer base of
150 million in India needed to train their dispersed
workforce on the their USPs i.e. their Value Added
Services and Vodafone Data Services. It was
important for their customer care to have an in-depth
knowledge of each of the services offered and the core
selling points which would enable them to attract the
customer base from worldwide.
24x7 Learning built another course to train Vodafone
employees on the Data Services offered by Vodafone.
The course content revolved primarily around the
latest 3G services offered by Vodafone, using a highly
animated approach to communicate this content.
Using conceptual graphics, scenarios and step-bystep animations, complex concepts were broken into
simple, logical and easy to understand topics to help
the learner absorb and retain the information.
Additionally, checkpoints were included every few
pages to reinforce recall and aid better learning.
The company wanted to quickly accelerate this
initiative using eLearning or the online training
program. There were many reasons to consider the
eLearning mode - firstly, it was more affordable than
traditional classroom training, with savings of over
60%. Secondly, online courses could be taken in
multiple sittings and was available 24x7, to better
accommodate the busy schedule of the employees.
Lastly, online training could take place anywhere and
at any time - in a café, while travelling or at any place
where the employee had an internet-accessible
computer.
CUSTOM CONTENT SOLUTIONS
Vodafone chose 24x7 Learning to customize
eLearning modules that strengthened the product and
services knowledge of the workforce. The first one was
the 'Vodafone Induction Course' that introduced new
employees to Vodafone's history as a global
organization, what the brand stood for, the consumer
and market insights and most importantly, the science
behind the Telecom Structure at Vodafone. A
customized eLearning character called Susan was
introduced to take the learners through the course,
mirroring a classroom instructor.
The second eLearning module encompassed
Vodafone's Value Added Services (VAS), designed
with a series of animated episodes based on the daily
life of a typical Indian family. Each character in the story
was modeled on a regular telecom service user and
each Value Added Service was mapped to a character.
By weaving the learning into a story with characters
that learners can relate to, the course built was highly
