“People learn optimally when they are pleasantly challenged and that's what I like about this. I am finding that everyone is being challenged in different ways. We are having very interesting discussions around what we are learning. And we are applying it immediately”

CEO Thomas International
Merle Ballaigues, North American distributor for Thomas International Inc., a global provider of objective management systems and work-based assessment tools, and her sales team are two missions into Momentium. “I'm evaluating it with a view to reselling it to my client base because I think it adds great value,” says Ms. Bellaigues, who began exploring alternative options in training a year ago.
“I wanted something new and different. Online game-based training allows you to offer training anywhere at any time,” she says.
She likes that the game allows salespeople to choose when they play, and that it reaches across ages, allowing participants to compete against themselves and against others.
“People learn optimally when they are pleasantly challenged and that's what I like about this. I am finding that everyone is being challenged in different ways. We are having very interesting discussions around what we are learning. And we are applying it immediately,” says Ms. Bellaigues, who witnessed a senior sales rep apply one of the aspects of the Momentium program at a sales call last week and get a positive response.
“It is a blue ocean strategy. You are not hearing about it every day. I am excited to offer it to my clients,” she says.
