This week’s guest poster is Hallie Wieland, one of our charming and knowledgeable sales people. She’s here to talk about Promotional Webinars, a service for helping clients to promote training in their organizations.

We are excited to inform you of our online learning Promotional Webinars! Once a month, we hold a webinar to give you helpful tips and solutions for promoting CustomGuide’s interactive online learning within your work place.

CustomGuide has done an excellent job of building a Promotional Toolkit right in our CLMS. As a CustomGuide client we hope you take full advantage of the many tools available right at your finger tips. Here are a few I like and suggest using:

Promotional Posters: We provide editable banners in Word .doc format that you can customize for each course. Simply edit and add your contact information to post at your company.

Quick Reference Cards: We allow you to brand your CLMS account with your logo, which will also appear on the Quick References. These are a great resource to send out to your staff or students

E-mail: We recently added the ability to send e-mails right from within your CLMS account. This is a great way to promote a custom course you’ve created, reinforce a course that needs to be completed by a certain date, or give a weekly tip or lesson to your users.

At the end of the day, I think you will agree with me that eLearning is only successful and beneficial if it is used. We hope you’ll come join us for one of our webinars and learn some useful solutions that have worked for other organizations and that can work for you too!

CustomGuide Online Learning Files Lawsuit Against CareerBuilder

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 7 — Minnesota-based CustomGuide filed a lawsuit today against CareerBuilder, LLC in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois.

The twelve-count lawsuit asserts breach of contract, fraud, business tort and intellectual property claims, and other related actions. The lawsuit alleges that CareerBuilder made multiple misuses of CustomGuide’s proprietary products. Misuses include: Selling CustomGuide’s products to businesses without a license; selling products to consumers after the termination of a limited license; and altering CustomGuide client testimonials and attributing them to CareerBuilder.

“CareerBuilder Institute contacted CustomGuide because they wanted to resell our courses to personal users,” explained Jon High, President of CustomGuide. “CustomGuide only sells to the B2B market, so it seemed like an exciting opportunity.” The lawsuit alleges that CareerBuilder did not adhere to their contract and began making unauthorized sales to organizations in CustomGuide’s own B2B market as well.

The lawsuit seeks to enjoin CareerBuilder from this alleged misconduct and to recover substantial money damages.
