The world of customer training and sales has changed dramatically over recent years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the need for switching to fully virtual measures, even faster than initially anticipated.

While everyone is talking about the shift to virtual, we haven’t yet seen user-based tangible data on the significant changes happening in the customer training and sales industries…Until now.

In a Proprietary Data Report that is the first of its kind, CloudShare has taken an in-depth look at the data collected over 2019-2021 from their platform, which shows the massive (and rapid) increase in the adoption of technologies needed for companies to survive in this new normal. Technologies like virtual POCs, self-paced learning, video-enabled training, and more, are not only helpful, but necessary to stay relevant and to continue providing a successful user experience to prospects and customers.

This report covers the biggest changes we’re seeing for sales and customer training teams, and the most important takeaways B2B software companies need to understand.
