Section 2: Activities
Audiovisual Presentation
• Benefits both visual and auditory learners
• Utilizes a cognitive approach for learners to memorize and
retain information
To ensure employees are knowledgeable and helpful in the
decision-making process, trainees will begin by watching a
video which outlines the features of the new warranty and
provides tips on best practices for engaging with customers.

Section 2: Activities
Conversation Activity
• Benefits both visual and kinesthetic learners
• Utilizes a behaviorist approach, allowing learners to practice
skills learned
• Reinforces the customer service component of the
audiovisual presentation.
Trainees will attempt to overcome a customer objection by
selecting from a pool of scripted responses that they will click
to create a conversation.
The customer will respond to the employee’s choice with less
effective options generating another objection until the
employee picks the most effective response before moving to
the next scenario.
This format allows for essential role-playing practice which
can be repeated as needed. The private nature of the training
will also assist with keeping the employee’s confidence strong
while they explore new material.

Section 2: Activities
Multiple Choice Assessment
• Benefits visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners
• Utilizes a cognitive approach for learners to memorize and
retain information
To complete the module, trainees will complete a series of
multiple-choice questions at the end of the presentation to
demonstrate their understanding of the material.
Questions will be displayed on-screen and read aloud by a
narrator. Immediate feedback will be given to the learner
based upon the answer they select.
Employees who score 90% or higher will automatically be
recorded as having successfully completed the training.
Company leadership will have access to a report showing
employee completion rates including number of attempts
required before success was achieved.
