Customized to retail banking industry, this suite of 23 eLearning courses, help every level in a retail branch to strengthen and expand customer relationships. Through a series of high-impact, self-paced on-line scenario-based learning, participants are presented with real-life challenges to apply and practice the new skills. The Richardson QuickSkills™ Retail Banking Edition includes intensive online coaching and feedback to foster skill development while helping build confidence in participants to use the newly acquired sales skills in their daily work environment. The complete training system provides just-in-time support tools and planners, as well as an interactive assessment test, feedback and scores, a personal development plan, and downloadable podcasts. The eLearning can also be blended with Richardson’s instructor-led programs used as seminar preparation, reinforcement of the topics covered in the seminar, or to provide continuing development.
