This makes them better brand ambassadors for your products or services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Drive revenue<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from strengthening your branding, an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extended enterprise learning and development strategy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also help drive more revenue. By now, your organization has most likely found that training employees on your products, services, and processes get them better results. Same can be said about your extended enterprise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distributors who know more about your products will know how to best sell them. Suppliers aware of your processes can adapt their products\/services to your needs. Customers who are more knowledgeable about your products need less support, are more satisfied, and promote through word-of-mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Reduce risk<\/h3>\n<p>An extended enterprise learning solution<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also lowers risk. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by ensuring that all your vendors and suppliers are on the same page. Whether you need to ensure they\u2019re qualified to address the needs of your business or knowledgeable about your products and services to handle customer demands, extended enterprise learning has you covered. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Train your partners and the likelihood of losing customers decreases. It\u2019s that simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Improve business processes<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you been meaning to improve your business processes but have found yourself stalling? Just one more reason to adopt extended enterprise training. When you begin training your external partners on an LMS, it will be much easier to track their results and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/best-practices-effective-performance-questions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>performance<\/strong><\/a>, as well as provide an easier feedback system. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you\u2019ll be hitting one bird with two stone: educating your external partners and improving your business processes at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Pick up more advocates<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How does an extended enterprise training solution<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> turn your customers into advocates?<\/strong> Easy. By training them. When you train your customers to use your product or service their knowledge grows and customer satisfaction improves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your courses even more powerful by awarding those who complete them with exclusive promotions, certificates, and vouchers. Watch as your customers turn into advocates and your advocates turn into your most ardent sales representatives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, more advocates = more sales. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/EFRONT_20171116_1200x314.jpg\" alt=\"The What, The Why And The How of Extended Enterprise Training - eFront Blog\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How do you implement extended enterprise training in your business?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve learned all the benefits of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/solutions\/extended-enterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>extended enterprise<\/strong><\/a> learning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you might be saying to yourself, \u201cI\u2019m in, how do I start?\u201d Here are five initial steps you can take once you\u2019ve decided to implement training for your company\u2019s extended enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: determine your \u2018extended enterprise\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/reasons-online-training-program-fail.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>training program<\/strong><\/a>, you need to determine who your targeted learners are. Are these customers, vendors, distributors, etc<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.? Don\u2019t forget you\u2019ll be training an audience who are not your employees. So, you might need to adjust the approach, the content, or even the training itself to be more suited to the intended learners. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: define key performance indicators<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Results speak louder than words.<\/strong> And like any training and development endeavor, expected outcomes of the program need to be defined and measured early on. Plus, your metrics will depend on who your target audience is.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"click-to-x\">\n                <blockquote>Results speak louder than words.<\/blockquote>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/post?text=Results%20speak%20louder%20than%20words.&#038;via=efrontlearning&#038;related=efrontlearning&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.efrontlearning.com%2Fblog%2F2017%2F11%2Fwhat-why-how-extended-enterprise-training.html\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    <span>Share on <\/span>\n                    <svg width=\"17.6px\" height=\"18px\" viewBox=\"0 0 17.6 18\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                        <path d=\"M10.5,7.6L17,0h-1.6L9.8,6.6L5.2,0H0l6.9,10L0,18h1.6l6-7l4.8,7h5.2L10.5,7.6L10.5,7.6z M8.4,10.1l-0.7-1\n                        L2.1,1.2h2.4L9,7.6l0.7,1l5.8,8.3h-2.4L8.4,10.1L8.4,10.1z\"><\/path>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you will probably track your distributors\u2019 and agents\u2019 training success using sales and\/or quality of service. Customer learners will have different KPIs, which will most likely include customer satisfaction, the frequency of use, or conversion rate after taking the training. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: assess the capabilities of your current LMS<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third step is to find out the capabilities of your current learning management system. Even if it isn\u2019t packaged as an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extended enterprise LMS<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it might be capable of handling the requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning management systems that can handle <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extended enterprise learning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> need to have separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/tips-customize-curated-content-elearning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>content,<\/strong><\/a> user profiles, and rules for different groups of learners. As for the additional learners, you\u2019ll be taking on? A capable LMS can accommodate more users as per the licensing agreement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a great advantage if your current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>LMS<\/strong><\/a> supports all of these requirements. If it doesn\u2019t, then it might be time to transition to a learning management system that is more suitable for your organization and intended learners\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: calculate the associated costs of training<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step back and assess the online training process for your business. Is your training team creating online courses in-house? Do you outsource course creation? How much does this process cost, like let\u2019s say, is it broken down for every learner? \u00a0How do you compute for the return on investment (ROI) of each training course that you run?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need to forecast the cost of implementing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this type of strategy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">because it will require a small investment on the organization\u2019s part. Having this information beforehand will make it easier to create a business case to sway stakeholders into adopting the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: create the business case and get it approved<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have collected your data and analyzed it. it\u2019s time to create a feasible plan for getting the extended enterprise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/effective-workforce-development-strategies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>strategy<\/strong><\/a> rolling. We\u2019ve found that programs with a well thought-out implementation plan with a promised return of investment within a reasonable amount of time have higher chances of being approved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, crunch your numbers and ensure your plan is realistic and viable. You might even want to consider running a pilot program first before offering it to your entire extended enterprise. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extended enterprise training solutions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> encourage learning across channels connecting organizations with customers, suppliers, partners, distributors, and contractors. This connection improves the way your company handles its external partners and can give you a leading edge over your competitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can get you better services from your vendors and suppliers. It can push your partner distributors for more sales. It can also provide more support for your customers and turn them into evangelists. All it takes is convincing your stakeholders, both internal and external, that the investment is worth it. <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The business world has never been so competitive.
