SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2014) - Experticity, the leading platform for building and rewarding expertise within retail, was chosen by BenelliUSA to help elevate expertise among retail associates, educating associates on BenelliUSA's unique products, technology and history.
Experticity built three custom websites to train and engage those selling BenelliUSA firearms and accessories. The sites include product information and "Edu-Games," quizzes that reward trainees with discounts on BenelliUSA products, for three brands: Benelli, Soeger and Franchi.
"Better-trained associates are better salespeople, to put it simply," said Tom DeBolt, General Manager, USA, at BenelliUSA. "Our inertia-driven firearms are unlike any other on the market, which makes it absolutely necessary to educate every associate selling our products to help them understand how our unique firearms differ from our competitors'.
