Creating a course

A course is whatever you want to create for your users. Provide engaging presentations, PDFs, videos, walkthroughs and more to guide your audience toward skillful selling.
Alternatively, you can distribute a survey within your course to gather feedback on things that matter to your organization. Easily drag and drop the elements that will make up the foundation of your course and fill in the details at your leisure.
