This looks like a great concept. One question - how do I see all the content that is available? It's not anywhere on the public site (that I could find), so I created a trial account, and still don't see it (other than "upgrade now to see all 90 lessons"). It would be nice to see what is available without having to create an account and then upgrade to paid.

Ok, I think i found it under "My Profile" - seems like an odd place to hide it. Feedback - make the available content more discoverable on the public facing site. (Like Lydia :-) )
Cory and Kavi have built Lynda.com for sales teams. There's over 90 sections covering everything from lead generation to advanced closing techniques. Their content, however, isn't static and generic. They integrate the lessons with data from places like Salesforce and work with sales managers to customize the lessons to work with real life examples. It's the future of not only sales training, but professional development.
@ilikevests Thanks, Kevin!
Hi everyone,
I'm Cory Bray, CEO of CareerSofia. Sales training is broken, and we think that's unacceptable. Kavi and I started CareerSofia with the belief that rigorous training can dramatically improve employee performance across the board. Rigorous training curriculums work in medicine, finance, law, and other fields...why not sales? The problem is that executives don't have the bandwidth to develop training, individual contributors don't have the expertise, and adding support staff is an expensive way to partially address the problem.
If you're new to sales, want to brush up on some skills, or are interested in training your team, check out our product. We offer free consultations to individuals and our Professional Edition is only $19 / month with no commitment. Companies can contact us to learn about our enterprise features which are built to improve sales performance and make front-line managers better coaches.
Our goal is to make employees better, faster. Check out our free version at CareerSofia.com.

CarrerSofia is amazing! I'm so proud of this team and all the progress they've made... They also have a really big vision for what sales training should be! Excited to see how this takes off :)
This is a phenomenal idea, and already looks like it's a promising business with a lot of room for growth. I could see this working especially well if implemented with the ability to expand upon market-specific/position-specific sales opportunities (i.e.: turning a tech support call into a sale via a suggested upgrade from a more knowledgable CSR who now has a bit more sales experience under his/her belt)
@trendy Thanks! Yes, that's exactly what we're thinking. A lot of existing solutions try to be all things to all people, but individuals have very specific needs tied to their current role and skill set.
We've been using CareerSofia for a few months now at my company, and it's been a huge help for us. The lessons are informative and actionable. Can't recommend this product enough!
Wow. I wrote an adaptive learning engine for a competency-based learning company and CareerSofia seems similar, except customizable by a company. That could be invaluable for companies with unique techniques they like to install their whole sales force. If I recall correctly, our competencies sold for $5000 for a mastery certificate. This seems like a steal by comparison.
I really like that it's on-demand learning; I just can't dedicate huge blocks of time to learning while continuing my existing career.
