We initially implemented Allego for 2 of our 9 sales teams, but the teams quickly embraced Allego and built up a repository of best practices we could share across the organization to improve everyday selling – Annabel Chynces, Director of Professional Sales Development at Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD)

Jackson, a leading provider of retirement products for industry professionals and their clients, recently turned to Allego for help with training and onboarding their internal wholesalers. “We initially implemented Allego for 2 of our 9 sales teams, but the teams quickly embraced Allego and built up a repository of best practices we could share across the organization to improve everyday selling,” said Annabel Chynces, Director of Professional Sales Development at Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD). “In our first year with Allego, we’ve seen the relationships between internal and external wholesalers deepen as the result of peer collaboration. I’m thrilled to see the impact on the organization so far and look forward to seeing what our team can do with Allego in the future.”

Technology Achievements

A true testament to the company’s success in the past year was the spike in user engagement across the Allego platform. In addition to doubling its number of active users, Allego also saw a 100 percent increase in user activity. This growth in adoption and engagement brought the total amount of material created by customers and stored in Allego to well over one million pieces of rich-media content. 

The increases in adoption and engagement can be attributed to the multiple product enhancements rolled out in 2019. Most recently, the company unveiled the future of sales team and employee development with its latest platform release. The updates to the Allego platform were designed to align with Allego’s new, agile approach to learning and readiness that delivers powerful results in the flow of employees’ daily work. 

Strategic Partnership with Seismic

In a continued effort to deliver the most comprehensive sales learning approach to customers, Allego and Seismic completed a technology integration, which combines Allego’s leading sales learning and readiness platform with Seismic’s best-in-class solution for sales content enablement. 

Industry Recognition

Allego’s efforts in 2019 were further validated by its multiple award wins, which recognized its executive leadership, technology innovations and corporate initiatives. The Allego learning and readiness platform received five awards last year from notable industry organizations such as Brandon Hall Group, Best in Biz Awards, CLO Magazine, The Stevie Awards and BISA. On a corporate level, the company was ranked on Boston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list for the second straight year and received the Business of the Year Award from the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) Boston. 

Additionally, the company was included as a “Representative Vendor” in Gartner’s Market Guide for Sales Engagement Platforms, which cited Allego’s customer focused roadmap that includes email client integration, social feeds, and localization of the product in 11 languages.
