“For learning to work, it must be effective, relevant, just enough, and just in time. So that’s exactly what we’ve built.”
To lead the development of the Learning Solutions product, Penny AI brought in Lauren Mason Carris, Ph.D. for her expertise in adult learning and skills-based personalized learning software. Lauren built out a product team to develop a behavior-based digital learning experience that marries how adults actually learn with what social sellers need in order to succeed.
“The hardest part of building a business is juggling learning while doing. Our new Learning Solutions delivers continuous training in the place of work (Penny) allowing sellers to learn about the industry, their company and business-building activities all while completing tasks. In effect sellers are learning while doing,” says Lauren Mason Carris, VP of Product at Penny. “For learning to work, it must be effective, relevant, just enough, and just in time. So that’s exactly what we’ve built.”
Learning Solutions is the natural next step to support social sellers as they build their business with Penny. It’s the first platform in the market that combines learning science with in-the-flow application of learned material.
