The Allego solution enables companies to collect, curate and distribute the most valuable sales content, and allows managers and sales representatives to maximize remote collaboration through role play and video-based practice to promote continuous learning and improve sales performance. Harnessing the accessibility of mobile and the strength of video to tell a story, Allego’s platform is built for the modern-day sales organization and its customers have already realized significant benefits, from reduction of onboarding costs, to accelerated ramp-up time for new hires, and increased win rates through message consistency.

“Traditional sales training and enablement is broken,” said Yuchun Lee, co-founder and CEO, Allego. “Companies need solutions beyond their traditional, compulsory sales training classes. Allego has created a new platform for sales enablement teams that helps redefines how sales organizations learn and collaborate, bringing reps closer to their managers and peers by helping them practice and improving access to impactful information.”

Not only is video the preferred form of content for training, but it is also allows for the greatest absorption and retention of that content. Forrester VP and principal analyst James McQuivey wrote that a minute of video is worth 1.8 million words¹. But historically, the technology to leverage video content has been a bottleneck for sales organizations. Allego has developed a Software-as-a-Service solution, backed by patent-pending technologies, that securely manages large volumes of compressed video, enables sales team to collaboratively practice and coach, and intelligently moves content across organizations rapidly and seamlessly.

Additionally, most of today’s organizations are more distributed and therefore place a heavier reliance on mobile technology to keep teams connected and informed. Because the Allego platform was built mobile-first, it is easily accessible anywhere, anytime, with or without a network connection. And by leveraging the power of video to communicate large amounts of information, Allego facilitates JIT learning and real-time collaboration to ensure the best ideas from the field are captured and shared quickly throughout the broader sales team. It also incorporates coaching and feedback, allowing sales managers to request attention on specific deals to ensure their sales reps have the best information and preparation ahead of their meetings.

Since 2013, Allego has been working with customers such as Pacific Life, Demandware, Kronos, Oppenheimer Funds, Chrysler and Vertex, among others, to further refine the platform to deliver the most seamless video and mobile user experience possible. The result has been a validation of the market need for an easy-to-use, video-optimized solution that enables sharing, collaboration, practice and feedback among distributed work forces.

“Allego’s platform has completely transformed Demandware’s global approach to sales training and enablement,” said Mary Charles, sales enablement director, Demandware. “With our broad and growing user base spread around the world, the platform is critical in onboarding new hires, executing sales certification, and enabling representatives in the field to quickly and easily share best practices, success stories and winning strategies wherever they’re doing business. Since implementing the Allego platform, we’ve already seen a more streamlined collaboration process, faster ramp time for new Account Executives and overall, more consistent messaging across the board.”

With Allego’s JIT platform, organizations can rapidly implement a variety of sales enablement and training applications to improve organizational performance and productivity, including:

• Training and certification
• Product launch and sales skills practice, role play and coaching
• Rapid on-boarding and assessment of new hires
