Why Digital Credentials?
Since 2013, Sales Essentials has been providing online training resources for human who do sales. Our effective ethical and human-centred sales methods drive better business opportunities and sales results.
Our training programs help people sell better, faster by focusing on core skills, behaviours, knowledge, values, and mindsets that can be learned and applied over and over again. Many of the capabilities and competencies you learn through Sales Essentials programs are soft skills that are often the hardest to master. Many technical courses, whilst often challenging, are easier to assess and credentialise.
So, how do people who work in sales, client-facing roles, and other human-to-human work demonstrate and get recognised for their capabilities and competencies?
With Digital Credentials.
Think about all the achievements you’ve earned in your lifetime: completing a certification or training program, joining a professional association, getting a degree, or receiving recognition at work for a job well done, a digital credential pulls these achievements out of your home, your computer, or the registrar’s office to show people what you know and can demonstrate.
Digital credentials transform knowledge, skills, and abilities into a common, verified language that empowers organisations to make more informed decisions about their teams’ career advancement and job promotions, further training and development needs, and clear minimum standards of excellence.
We have partnered with Credly -the world’s largest and most connected digital credential network- to provide Digital Credentials for all our courses. We can translate the learning outcomes and verified skills you can demonstrate into a portable, data-rich, and verified badge that speaks a common language of knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, and on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This digital image contains verified metadata that describes your qualifications and the process required to earn them.
Benefits of a Digital Credential (also called a digital badge or badge)
Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted and can be easily verified in real time. Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of. Credly also offers labor market insights, based on your skills. You can search and apply for job opportunities right through Credly.
