FitLinxx Puts Customers Through Training 'Bootcamp' With Brainshark
Market Wire, June, 2008
-- Brainshark ( http://www.brainshark.com/ ) today announced FitLinxx
( http://www.fitlinxx.com/brand.htm ), the leader in technology for
motivating people to live more active and healthy lifestyles, is using
Brainshark on-demand presentations to train customers such as the YMCA and
local and national fitness facilities on FitLinxx Software.
-- To date, FitLinxx has experienced a significant increase in customer
satisfaction regarding training availability, a 50 percent decrease in
training expenses, a decrease in inbound implementation support calls and
an increase in overall customer utilization.
-- Like many software companies, it's critical for FitLinxx to deliver
effective training to customers. However, FitLinxx representatives
previously traveled to customer sites across the country each time a new
customer was brought on and then again if customers experienced a high
staff turnover. The high volume of personnel changes at each client was
putting a strain on resources and impeding customer service.
-- With Brainshark's on-demand offering, FitLinxx has ensured customers
across the country are effectively trained on their fitness software.
Brainshark's anytime, anywhere capabilities and easy to use editing
features have enabled FitLinxx to immediately address each customer's
individual training needs -- without requiring an onsite representative and
without compromising their high standard of ensuring quality training.
-- Unlike other training solutions, Brainshark is designed for use across
all aspects of business communications. For example, FitLinxx also uses
Brainshark to power video presentations at industry tradeshows,
communicating customized messages to key purchasing audiences and later
this year the company will be incorporating Brainshark into a customer
certification training program.

Quotes
"We needed a solution that could train people outside of our organization -- our customers. However, our customers are so focused on day-to-day operations they simply don't have the luxury of scheduling staff training in advance. The on-demand model of Brainshark has been a perfect fit for our needs, enabling users to participate in training sessions at their convenience without the need for multiple onsite visits from our team. Plus as our technology is updated, we can efficiently roll out new features and benefits in weeks instead of months. With Brainshark we are able to offer the kind of flexible, customizable training our customers demand."

"Customers such as FitLinxx are not only reducing specific costs such as training, but drastically improving the overall customer experience leading to better retention and bottom line results. It's a powerful example for many companies who are looking to cut costs without sacrificing their quality of service."
