00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Hey everyone and welcome to another deep dive.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,640
You know, we love to take a look at the issues

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,560
that matter most to you, so let's jump right in.

4
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:07,260
Today we're focusing on a challenge

5
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:10,820
that I know every retail executive is super familiar with,

6
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:12,480
how to train employees effectively

7
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,160
when you've got locations all over the place.

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,480
And not just any training.

9
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,600
We're zeroing in on video training specifically.

10
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Right, and we've got a really great blog post here

11
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,340
from Multimedia Plus that digs into this topic.

12
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:25,760
They lay out a pretty strong case for video training,

13
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,400
but what's interesting is the way they tackle

14
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,720
this whole bandwidth problem.

15
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,320
Because let's be real for a second,

16
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,640
limited bandwidth is like the elephant in the room

17
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,000
for so many retailers, right?

18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,320
Totally, it's a constant battle.

19
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,200
You've got point of sale systems running security cameras,

20
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,780
inventory management, all those mission critical things,

21
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:42,400
sucking up bandwidth like crazy,

22
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,640
and then you try to layer traditional streaming

23
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,400
video training on top of that.

24
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,760
Oof, yeah, that's a recipe for disaster.

25
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,600
You're gonna have buffering lag, frustrated employees,

26
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,520
and honestly it just impacts the whole store operation.

27
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,420
You know, think about it from a retail executive's perspective.

28
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,440
Every minute that your network is bogged down

29
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,440
is potentially impacting your bottom line.

30
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,480
It's true, sales, customer experience,

31
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,600
even employee morale, it all takes a hit.

32
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,520
Exactly.

33
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,480
But you know what's funny?

34
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Even with all these bandwidth headaches,

35
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,440
the blog post actually makes a super compelling argument

36
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360
for why video training is still the way to go.

37
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Like did you know that people retain something

38
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160
like 95% of a message when they see it in a video?

39
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,240
95%.

40
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,120
Compared to just 10% from reading?

41
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,000
It's crazy, right?

42
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,840
It's huge.

43
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,080
It makes you wonder why we even bother

44
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,120
with those old school training manuals anymore.

45
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,960
Right.

46
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:31,520
But it goes beyond just retention too.

47
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,440
The blog post highlights some really key advantages

48
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,960
of video training that are especially relevant

49
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:37,800
for retailers.

50
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,400
Like consistency, for example.

51
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,800
Huge one, you can create these really polished

52
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,880
training experiences that are identical

53
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,520
across all your locations.

54
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,220
Doesn't matter if you're in a flagship store,

55
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:49,200
in a busy city, or a smaller location

56
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,580
in a more rural area, every employee

57
00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:53,440
gets the same high quality training.

58
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,880
It's about protecting your brand.

59
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Yeah, for sure.

60
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,600
And then there's the whole onboarding piece too,

61
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,280
which I know is a huge pain point

62
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,760
for so many retail execs.

63
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Oh my gosh.

64
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Don't you think onboarding is one of the most crucial things

65
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,560
to get right?

66
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,380
Absolutely.

67
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:08,160
You need to get those new hires up to speed quickly

68
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,800
and efficiently, or you're losing valuable time

69
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,040
and potentially sales.

70
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,540
Exactly.

71
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:15,400
And that's where video training could be a total game changer.

72
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,960
Imagine this.

73
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840
A new employee starts on Monday.

74
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,000
They go through these really engaging video modules.

75
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,880
And by Tuesday.

76
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,000
They're already on the floor.

77
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,500
Yeah.

78
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:23,920
Ready to interact with customers,

79
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,400
confident in their knowledge of the products and the brand.

80
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,880
It's like a fast track to productivity.

81
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,440
No more scheduling those in-personal training sessions

82
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,080
or across a million different locations.

83
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Yeah, or trying to keep track of who's

84
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,120
completed what training and when.

85
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,880
It's all right there on their device.

86
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,520
Easy to access, easy to track.

87
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040
And flexible too, which is another massive benefit

88
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,360
for your existing teams.

89
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,240
They can fit training into their own schedules,

90
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,880
whether it's during a slow period

91
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,400
or before a big product launch, or whatever it works for them.

92
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,280
It's all about empowering them to take control

93
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,120
of their own development.

94
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Exactly.

95
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,080
OK, so we've established that video training has

96
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,080
some serious advantages, but we still

97
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,840
haven't addressed the elephant in the room.

98
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,480
That pesky bandwidth issue.

99
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:00,980
Right.

100
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,600
How do we make video training work

101
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,360
when we're constantly battling for those precious megabytes?

102
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,640
Well, this is where the blog post gets really interesting.

103
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,320
They introduced this solution called Insight,

104
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,040
which uses what they call a patented non-streaming

105
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,920
technology.

106
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,840
And that's where things get a little mind blowing.

107
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Non-streaming.

108
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,280
I'm intrigued.

109
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,680
Yeah, it's like they flipped the whole concept

110
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,280
of video training on its head.

111
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,440
So how does it actually work?

112
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
So instead of streaming the videos in real time,

113
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,200
which is what usually causes all the buffering problems,

114
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:27,360
right?

115
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Yeah, exactly.

116
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Insight actually pre-downloads the content directly

117
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,800
to devices in the stores.

118
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Oh, wow.

119
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,680
So it's like having the videos stored locally.

120
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,960
So no more relying on a stable internet connected

121
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,880
to deliver the training?

122
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Nope, which means no buffering, no lag,

123
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200
no matter how shaky the internet might

124
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,880
be at a particular location.

125
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,160
So even those stores in more remote areas,

126
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
the ones that always seem to have internet troubles,

127
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,960
they can still deliver a really seamless high quality

128
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,960
training experience.

129
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,720
That's pretty amazing.

130
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,880
And they've even thought about how

131
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,120
to manage those large video files without impacting store

132
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,880
operations during peak hours.

133
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,720
That's smart, because the last thing you want

134
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,920
is for a big download to cripple your network

135
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160
when you're trying to process transactions or manage

136
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,720
inventory.

137
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Totally.

138
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,120
So what they do is they use what they call trickle downloads

139
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,680
to send the content in small increments overnight.

140
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,080
So it's like a stealth operation.

141
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Exactly.

142
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,400
By the time your team arrives in the morning,

143
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,760
everything is ready to go without ever putting a strain

144
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120
on your network during those crucial business hours.

145
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,760
So essentially, Insight takes care

146
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,400
of the heavy lifting behind the scenes

147
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,720
so you don't have to worry about it.

148
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Exactly.

149
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,400
It's designed to be as seamless and hands off as possible.

150
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
And that's exactly what we need is busy retail executives,

151
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,080
right?

152
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Oh, yeah, for sure.

153
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,720
We've got enough on our plates already.

154
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
We don't need to be micromanaging training videos, too.

155
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Absolutely.

156
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,520
But you know what's really cool is that Insight doesn't just

157
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,360
stop at solving the bandwidth problem.

158
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,480
They've also built in a bunch of really smart features

159
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,920
that make it even more appealing for retail executives

160
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,680
like you.

161
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,760
OK, I'm all ears.

162
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,320
Tell me more.

163
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Well, for starters, there's automatic memory management.

164
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Sounds complicated.

165
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,120
But it's actually super simple.

166
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,040
The system automatically remove any old or outdated content

167
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,920
and make sure that only the relevant up-to-date training

168
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
materials are stored on each device.

169
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,680
Oh, that's cool.

170
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,840
So you don't have to worry about manually cleaning up

171
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,680
devices or managing storage space.

172
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,880
It's all taken care of.

173
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,080
That's a huge release for IT departments everywhere.

174
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Oh, yeah, for sure.

175
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
It's designed to be as hands off and efficient as possible,

176
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,640
which, let's face it, is exactly what

177
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,680
we need as busy retail executives.

178
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,160
Absolutely.

179
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,520
I mean, our brains are already fried

180
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,560
from trying to keep up with everything else in this industry.

181
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:23,920
Right.

182
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,400
We don't need more things to worry about.

183
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:25,960
Exactly.

184
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,480
We need solutions that just work.

185
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,320
And that's what Insight seems to be all about.

186
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,800
From what we're seeing so far, I'd say they're on the right track.

187
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Yeah, it's definitely a platform that's worth exploring further.

188
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000
So let's dive a little deeper into some of the specific benefits

189
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,560
that they highlight in the blog post,

190
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
because it goes way beyond just addressing

191
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,480
those technical challenges.

192
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,280
OK, sounds good.

193
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,280
Let's get into it.

194
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,880
What really stands out to me about this Insight approach

195
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,360
is that they really seem to get the retail world.

196
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,640
Like they've actually walked a mile in our shoes.

197
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Yeah, exactly.

198
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
It's not just some generic tech solution

199
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,360
that they're trying to shoehorn into retail.

200
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
It feels like they've actually listened to our pain points.

201
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,160
Right.

202
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,560
And they've tailored their platforms

203
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,000
to meet those specific needs.

204
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320
OK, so we've talked about the impressive retention rates,

205
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
but what other benefits did they highlight for retail?

206
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,800
Well, one thing they really emphasize

207
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,120
is how powerful video can be for demonstrating

208
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,840
specific skills and procedures.

209
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,040
Things like customer service scenarios, product demonstrations,

210
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,080
even complex store operations.

211
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,840
Things that are hard to explain in a manual.

212
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,360
Exactly.

213
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Video can bring all of that to life in a way

214
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520
that written instructions just can't match.

215
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
It's like having a virtual mentor right there guiding them

216
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,480
through every step.

217
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,320
Yeah, exactly.

218
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,480
And let's not forget, we're dealing with a generation

219
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800
of employees who have grown up with video.

220
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,760
It's their native language.

221
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,160
Right.

222
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
So if you want to engage them in training video,

223
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,200
is the way to go.

224
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,560
And if I'm remembering correctly,

225
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,680
they also meet all the security standards

226
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120
that are crucial for retail, like they're PCI compliant.

227
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,600
Right.

228
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,760
And they're built to scale.

229
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,520
It's huge.

230
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,840
As a retail executive, you need technology

231
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,440
that can grow with your business.

232
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400
And inside, definitely checks that box.

233
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,360
It's all about future proving your operations.

234
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,000
For sure.

235
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,800
And speaking of growth, the blog post also

236
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,320
touches on how video training can help retailers

237
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
address those two biggies employee turnover and knowledge

238
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,640
gaps.

239
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Those are the veins of our existence.

240
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,240
It's a constant battle, right?

241
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,240
Onboarding new employees while also trying to keep everyone's

242
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,760
knowledge base up to date.

243
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,520
So how does video training help with that?

244
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Well, imagine this.

245
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,320
A new hire starts.

246
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,600
And within a day or two, they've completed all

247
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,440
the essential training modules through aging video content.

248
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920
They hit the floor confident and prepared,

249
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080
no more scrambling to schedule in-person sessions

250
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,760
or worrying about inconsistencies in the training materials.

251
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Now, that's efficient on board.

252
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Right.

253
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
And as you said, it goes beyond new hires, too.

254
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680
Video training can help address those knowledge

255
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
gaps that inevitably arise as products change

256
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480
promotions launch or store procedures are updated.

257
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,560
It's about creating a continuous learning loop.

258
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,520
Exactly.

259
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,200
And the beauty of it is that it empowers employees.

260
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,320
They have the resources they need to feel confident

261
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,000
and knowledgeable in their roles.

262
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,640
And when employees feel empowered,

263
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960
they deliver better customer service.

264
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,960
They're more engaged, and they contribute more

265
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,200
to the success of the business.

266
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,600
It's a win-win all around.

267
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,400
OK, so we've talked about the benefits of video training

268
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,280
and how Insight tackles the bandwidth problem.

269
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760
But I'm curious about the actual video creation process.

270
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,640
I mean, it's not as simple as hitting record, right?

271
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,080
You read my mind creating high-quality training

272
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280
videos that are engaging and effective.

273
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000
That's a whole other project in itself.

274
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,680
It's an art form.

275
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,560
But it seems like the team behind Insight

276
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,440
has considered that, too, because they offer

277
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,040
a full suite of content creation services,

278
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600
everything from script writing and story boarding

279
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,520
to professional filming and editing.

280
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
So they're basically a one-stop shop for all your video

281
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,720
training needs.

282
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,600
It seems that way.

283
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480
And I think that's a huge selling point for busy retail

284
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,560
executives like yourself.

285
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:43,600
You don't have to scramble to find different vendors

286
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,240
for each step of the process.

287
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
It takes a lot of the stress and guesswork out

288
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,800
of implementing video training.

289
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,560
And it's a testament to their commitment

290
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,080
to creating a truly comprehensive collusion.

291
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,120
They're thinking about the entire ecosystem

292
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,080
of retail training.

293
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,600
The challenges, the opportunities,

294
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,040
and the need for ongoing support.

295
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,000
It's impressive.

296
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
They're clearly invested in seeing retailers succeed,

297
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,600
which is exactly the kind of partner

298
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,680
you want in your corner.

299
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,360
Well said.

300
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaking of partners, did you notice

301
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,880
they also offer something called strategic support services?

302
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Vaguely.

303
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,560
What exactly does that entail?

304
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,160
It seems to go beyond just providing the technology.

305
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,480
They offer guidance and support to help retailers

306
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,880
get the most out of their Insight investment.

307
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Like what kind of guidance?

308
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Things like training program development, data analytics,

309
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
to measure the effectiveness of your training,

310
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160
even change management consulting.

311
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640
So it's definitely not a set it and forget it kind of solution.

312
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,160
Not at all.

313
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,080
They're there every step of the way, providing the expertise

314
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,200
and support you need to actually transform

315
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,320
your approach to training.

316
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,080
It's like having an extension of your own team dedicated

317
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,920
to making your training program a success.

318
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,920
Exactly.

319
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,080
And that level of support can be invaluable,

320
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,800
especially for retailers who are new to video training

321
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160
or who are looking to really level up

322
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,600
their existing programs.

323
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,520
It's about having a trusted partner to guide you

324
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,560
through the process.

325
00:09:58,560 --> 00:09:59,280
You know, it's funny.

326
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,280
We started this deep dive talking about bandwidth.

327
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,320
But this Insight platform seems to be about so much more

328
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,880
than just a technical solution.

329
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,840
I completely agree.

330
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,120
It's about empowering employees, fostering engagement,

331
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
and ultimately creating a more successful retail operation.

332
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920
And that's something every retail executive can get behind.

333
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,800
For sure.

334
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640
But before we get too carried away singing

335
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,560
the praises of Insight, it's important to remember

336
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,240
that this information is coming from multimedia

337
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,360
plus the company behind the platform.

338
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Right.

339
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,360
It's important to keep that in mind.

340
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,840
They're presenting their product in a positive light,

341
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,240
which is understandable.

342
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,400
But it's always wise to do your own due diligence.

343
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,720
Don't just take their word for it.

344
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Exactly.

345
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,560
Talk to other retailers who are using Insight,

346
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,280
explore case studies, and really get

347
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200
a sense of whether it's the right fit for your specific needs

348
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,920
and goals.

349
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,320
Because what works for one retailer

350
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,360
might not work for another.

351
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,320
Absolutely.

352
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Every retail operation is unique.

353
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,360
So it's crucial to make informed decisions

354
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,000
based on solid research and a clear understanding

355
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,480
of your own challenges.

356
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Well said.

357
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,720
OK, so we've covered a lot of ground here.

358
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,120
We've explored the power of video training,

359
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400
addressed the bandwidth hurdle, and uncovered a potential

360
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,160
solution in Insight.

361
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,680
But before we wrap up, there's one detail that really caught

362
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,920
my eye, and I'm curious to get your take on it.

363
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Oh, I love when you get that curious glint in your eye.

364
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,480
Lay it on me.

365
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960
Remember how we talked about Insight being a non-streaming

366
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,480
solution?

367
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:15,920
Yeah.

368
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,840
Well, the blog post briefly mentioned something

369
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,520
called Insight Plus Zoom.

370
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,000
Zoom, as in the video conferencing platform.

371
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Now, that's interesting.

372
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,560
What does Zoom have to do with a non-streaming video training

373
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:26,040
system?

374
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,840
I'm intrigued.

375
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,480
Me too.

376
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,400
It's not explained in detail, but it

377
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,960
seems like they've found a way to integrate the two.

378
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Perhaps it's a way to facilitate live virtual training

379
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,960
sessions or to add a more interactive element

380
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,440
to their video content.

381
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,440
It could be a way to blend asynchronous video training

382
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120
with the real-time interaction of a Zoom session.

383
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,600
That could be really powerful.

384
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,160
I agree.

385
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Unfortunately, they don't dive deeper into it

386
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,360
in this blog post.

387
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,240
But it definitely raises some interesting questions

388
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,080
and seems worth exploring further.

389
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:54,680
Absolutely.

390
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,760
And it's a great reminder that even when we think

391
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720
we've got to handle on a topic, there's always

392
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,520
more to uncover.

393
00:11:59,520 --> 00:11:59,920
You said it.

394
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:00,120
All right.

395
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,680
So we've covered a lot of ground today.

396
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,600
We've talked about the advantages of video training,

397
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,680
the bandwidth challenge, and insight as a potential solution.

398
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:08,760
What are your final thoughts?

399
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,080
Well, it's clear the insight is addressing a real need

400
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,360
in the retail industry.

401
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,600
Their focus on solving the bandwidth issue

402
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,680
while delivering a high-quality, scalable, and engaging

403
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,160
training experience is really impressive.

404
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,000
I agree.

405
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
And I think their commitment to understanding

406
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,400
the specific challenges of the retail world

407
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,400
makes them a valuable partner to consider.

408
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:28,900
Definitely.

409
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,520
But as we discussed, it's crucial to do your own research,

410
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640
talk to other retailers who are using the platform

411
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,080
and make sure it's the right fit for your specific needs.

412
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,200
Solid advice.

413
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,200
Now, let's move on to some final takeaways for our listener.

414
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,560
As we've been talking about insight and all its features,

415
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,000
it strikes me that at the end of the day,

416
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,800
technology is just a tool.

417
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,720
That's a really good point.

418
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Insight can create the infrastructure

419
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,560
for effective training.

420
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,600
But it's the human element that really brings it to life.

421
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,960
The content, the trainers, the overall strategy.

422
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,720
Exactly.

423
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,960
We could have the most sophisticated video training

424
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,360
platform in the world.

425
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,720
But if the content isn't engaging or relevant,

426
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,040
it's not going to be effective.

427
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,440
It's all about finding that balance between the tech

428
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,320
and the human touch.

429
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,080
Absolutely.

430
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,400
And speaking of the human element,

431
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
I keep coming back to this idea of employee empowerment.

432
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Me too.

433
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,040
The blog post really emphasizes how effective training can

434
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,000
empower employees to take ownership of their roles

435
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,280
and become true brand ambassadors.

436
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,280
It's about creating a culture of learning and development

437
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,720
where employees feel valued and supported.

438
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,080
And where they have the resources they need to thrive.

439
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Exactly.

440
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,880
And that's where I think Insight's focus on mobile

441
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,200
accessibility is so smart.

442
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:35,680
Think about it.

443
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,360
Your associates have access to training resources right

444
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,040
at their fingertips.

445
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,680
Whenever and wherever they need them.

446
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,200
They can brush up on product knowledge

447
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,200
before assisting a customer, watch a quick training video

448
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,680
on a new store procedure, even access motivational content

449
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,760
to boost their morale during a busy shift.

450
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,600
It's like having a personalized learning

451
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,960
library in their pocket.

452
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,560
Exactly.

453
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,560
It's about putting the power of knowledge

454
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:58,400
directly into the hands of your employees.

455
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,000
And giving them the tools they need to excel.

456
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,480
And when employees feel empowered, what happens?

457
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760
They deliver better customer experiences.

458
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,800
They're more engaged.

459
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,400
And they contribute more to the success of the business.

460
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,880
It's a win-win for everyone involved.

461
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Absolutely.

462
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520
So as we wrap up this deep dive, I

463
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720
think the key takeaway for you as a retail executive

464
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280
is this embrace innovation and explore

465
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,040
new technologies like Insight.

466
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,360
But never lose sight of the human element that

467
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,520
drives your business.

468
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Invest in your employees.

469
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,280
Create a culture of continuous learning.

470
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,520
And remember that empowering your workforce

471
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,800
is one of the most powerful things you can do to unlock success.

472
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Couldn't have said it better myself.

473
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720
This deep dive has given you a lot to think about.

474
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,360
Hopefully it sparks some new ideas

475
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,640
and inspires you to explore how you can take your retail

476
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,280
training to the next level.

477
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,520
Keep those minds curious and those retail strategies evolving.

478
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,680
And we'll catch you on the next deep dive.
