General Overview
HHDT: An Online Learning Management Platform
Hard Hat Digital Training is a uniquely individualized online learning management platform specifically customized for construction related equipment and consumable manufacturers.
Hard Hat was founded by manufacturing executives frustrated by the quality of representation their companies received by those marketing, selling, and servicing their respective products.
Equipment rental outlets, retail big box centers, and other distribution employees are well-intended professionals, however due to the absence of beneficial education and training, they often lack the knowledge and expertise required to adequately represent specific products, manufacturers policies, and industry’s best practice’s. Through no fault of their own, sales and service representatives typically retain limited information about a large number of products.
Without adequate training, products are often misrepresented with vague or skewed information while their true features, benefits, and value propositions are overlooked. As former distribution executives, our founding group appreciates your expectation of those representing your products, they should be an extension of the knowledge and expertise of those within your organization. They should share your passion, ambition, and enthusiasm.
Manufacturers routinely coordinate hundreds of traditional face-to-face trainings; however they tend to be expensive and frequently result in a disappointing return on investment. Unfortunately, for most attendees, retention levels greatly diminish within the first few weeks following the training.
Recognizing the flaws in the system, our strategic think tank developed the Hard Hat Digital Training portal not only to elevate the knowledge and expertise of those representing our products, but also to increase long-term retention of critical information.
By utilizing proven educational and teaching techniques, Hard Hat subscribes to life-long learning which focuses on material retention and message accuracy as it relates to the specific features and benefits of your products and organization.
Utilizing our training portal, which is detailed and customized specific to your organization, we individualize and highlight your products in a user-friendly format. Via the portal, your training sessions are accessible to literally thousands of sales and service individuals who are responsible for selling, serving, and maintaining your products.
