Supergoop! Creates Skincare Experts Around the World With Rise 360 and Articulate 360

The Challenge

Supergoop! needed a scalable way to train employees and partners on their products

• Supergoop! needed to adapt its traditional beauty training—which was intensive, costly, and involved classroom-based role playing—to engaging online courses that would be accessible to learners on-demand.
• They needed to create snackable training to keep salespeople current with product launches, company news, and relevant beauty trends—all while accommodating the diverse training needs of internal and external learners.
• With retail partners located across the globe, Supergoop! wanted a way to easily educate them with learning that plays seamlessly in their LMSs. They aimed to support international expansion and rapid growth with effective virtual onboarding and training.

The Answer

Using Articulate 360, Supergoop! distributed content to team members around the world

Supergoop! first heard about Articulate from its retail partner, Sephora. The beauty giant uses Articulate 360 to create online courses for its own training needs. Supergoop! wanted to mimic the design and quality of Sephora’s training and ensure that content looked great when distributed through their learning management system (LMS). Each of Sephora’s beauty advisors are critical to Supergoop!’s sales, so keeping these partners current on product benefits and new releases was a must.

The Supergoop! sales team started using Articulate products to quickly create and distribute content to Supergoop! employees and retail partners like Sephora. When the company expanded into the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, Supergoop! needed an easy way to plug in these new partners. “There was no other way for us to get content over to the APAC region,” says Amber Weinfurtner, SVP of Sales at Supergoop!. “We knew we had to adopt the system right away.” 

Beyond sales training, Supergoop! used Articulate products to quickly create virtual onboarding during a period of rapid growth and to revamp its customer service and product training. Their efforts have paid off with improved customer satisfaction. After completing training created and delivered with Articulate products, outside customer service representatives went from earning a 2.5-star rating to a 5-star rating. And better customer service ratings can only mean one thing—happier customers buying more from Supergoop!
