The more mastery your team has of the products your customers need, the better they can sell them. When you commit to active scholarship with NetPlus Academy, you’re proving your dedication to customer service and sales growth. By making the most of exclusive NetPlus advantages like Academy, you’ll ultimately boost your bottom line, which is our top priority.
NetPlus Academy has three branches of educational opportunities available for your team. We offer hands-on trainings, both in-person and virtual, to get a deeper understanding of new or featured products from hosting suppliers and an in-depth feel for their unique benefits.
NetPlus also collaborates with both product suppliers and business service providers (BSPs) to host interactive webinars in which our members can gain wider and deeper knowledge surrounding lines, products, features, and services through thoughtful presentations and an engaging question and answer session.
Finally, Academy boasts a robust collection of online courses published by NetPlus suppliers on a platform we use called BlueVolt. These courses range from new product lessons to featured line highlights to best business practices to streamline your organization. Browse through your options or search for exactly what you’re looking for by category, supplier, topic, brand, and so on.
EDUCATION YIELDS BENEFITS
Completing trainings, webinars, and online courses brings value to your business. Firstly, there’s the benefit of the educational material to your team. New employees or those just getting into the industry can gain confidence so they’re prepared to assist your customers with detailed questions. Veteran salespeople can quickly digest new product details and be among the early advocates for emerging tools and trends.
Secondly, engaging with this material shows your current partners how invested your team is in selling their products and shows potential future partners that you’re serious about product mastery and passing along all that expertise to your customers. If you’re committing time to something, it’s important.
Thirdly, you will earn rewards as you complete Academy offerings. NetPlus Perks points are awarded at varying levels and $BlueBucks can be earned in BlueVolt for individual motivation, redeemable for popular shopping gift cards.
MAXIMIZING ACADEMY IN 2025
Don’t let this year slip away without getting everything you can from NetPlus Academy. In partnership with our suppliers, NetPlus has lined up seven hands-on trainings: four in-person and three virtual. Of the in-person trainings, three are hosted by a single supplier and one will be a multi-supplier format.
Webinar opportunities will also be available throughout the year. We completed two in the first quarter alone, with two more at the start of the second quarter and many more to come. These convenient, one-hour presentations give you a chance to catch up on new products and services from NetPlus suppliers and BSPs. Come prepared with questions to take full advantage of your time.
Be sure to review our monthly emails outlining new course offerings and product launches available on BlueVolt. You’re sure to find useful content that interests you, including the recordings of our webinars and virtual trainings.
