CompeteNet Partners With Interaction Improvement, LLC

Training Increases Customer Loyalty, Facilitates Top-Line Revenue Increase

CompeteNet, Inc., an Alpharetta, Georgia-based leader in simulation-based training systems, has inked a partnership with Interaction Improvement LLC of Los Angeles and Washington, DC, to provide a new training solution for companies committed to enhancing customer loyalty. By combining the intellectual property and subject matter expertise of Interaction Improvement with the simulation technology and learning methodologies of CompeteNet, an experiential learning environment will be brought to bear on frontline, customer-facing personnel.

"By joining together, Interaction Improvement and CompeteNet will better assist Fortune 1000 firms to maximize profitability," said Bentley Radcliff, CompeteNet's CEO. "This partnership will help change individual employee behavior, improving on the 'soft skills' necessary for customer interaction. Interaction Improvement and CompeteNet will combine to make employees masters of customer-centric communication."

Interaction Improvement's Customer Interaction Excellence (CIE) is a program whose methodologies have been implemented at companies such as HP, the World Bank, small businesses and non-profit organizations. It helps clients grow by providing customer loyalty programs aligning staff performance with customer expectations. This way, companies stay more competitive by retaining existing customers rather than securing new customers.

The combined offering will utilize distance learning via online simulations, and enhances both companies' solutions with real-time assessment. CompeteNet's SimMastery technology allows seamless integration of the Interaction Improvement product, enhancing the ROI of pre-existing training. Interaction Improvement opens CompeteNet to a new market and customer base.

"This partnership is all about the customer," said Owen Plant, CEO of Interaction Improvement, LLC. "A successful company must train its staff to make sure each customer is satisfied every time they encounter the company -- whether through the sales department, accounts receivable, or customer service staff. The partnership of CompeteNet and Interaction Improvement makes that possibility a reality."
