Product and policy changes

Prepare people to apply the update, not just read it

Turn a release or policy change into practice before the next customer question. Check the specific decisions and explanations that have changed, rather than repeating the whole onboarding course.

Illustrative product view · Fictional training scenario

What changed

When this becomes a priority

  • A product launch creates new customer questions

    Knowing a new feature exists does not prepare a representative to explain it, handle pushback or apply it to a particular account. Practise the customer questions the launch creates.

  • Policy emails do not test application

    An acknowledgement confirms someone opened a policy, not that they can apply an exception correctly. Use a scenario to check the decision the update changes.

  • Experienced people need targeted updates

    Tenured colleagues need to rehearse what is new or difficult. Keep the exercise focused on the changed behaviour rather than replaying introductory training.
