Learn.com®, the leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity, announced today that CBA, the trade association for the Christian Retail Channel, has selected the company's Learning Management System to effectively deliver frontline training as well as manager and owner certification training to all Christian retail stores.
"We selected Learn.com because they are the leader in the space with the largest user population, greatest functionality, and ease of use. Research on customer satisfaction reveals every $1 spent on personnel costs could mean as much as $28 in sales if sales associates could talk intelligently about products and take customers to products in the store. Learn.com will allow us to provide standardized training to all of our 2,000 retail stores to develop knowledgeable and effective personnel. It also will also help us deliver product information directly to frontline employees who actually engage customers. Our goal is to put 'special' back into 'specialty retail', and we believe Learn.com can help us archive that goal," said Bill Anderson, CBA President & CEO.
