Problem

Unilever Food Solutions has a widely distributed workforce with a diverse sales force led by Distributor Development Managers, Chain Development Managers, Business Development Team and Sales Leaders

Sales is further split into different teams such as distributor, large chains, military, supermarket and deli, convenience stores, Club Stores, and healthcare facilities

The logistics of training are a major challenge since not only do courses need to be delivered across a vast area, they also need to be tailored to meet the needs of specialized teams

Solution

Mindflash

Unilever uses Mindflash to create multiple variants of

courses aimed at the various specialized

sales teams

Unilever recently kicked off training

program called UFS-University, which is

focused on delivering continuing

education to all of the salespeople at

the company

Trainees are required to complete

courses, fill out related activity

sheets and submit results through,

while Unilever tracks progress to see who has completed the

assignments

Why Mindflash

• Is easily accessible to the sales team when they are in the field, and that they’re able to go back and review materials at any time

• Allows trainers to go back in and change a training program even after it’s been activated

• Makes it easy to copy pieces of one course to create another that’s slightly different

• Can be managed by several different people

• Offers the ability to stagger training times

Results

Unilever has used Mindflash to create five series with a total of about 30

courses

Unilever is now able to send

training materials in advance

Employees are much happier with

training since it saves them time

and is easy to use

“Mindflash is a very user-friendly system for both the trainer and trainees. It can save you a lot of time.”
