How Do I Implement BuildWitt Training?

We gotta be honest: we’re not fans of the word implementation. It sounds like a big, scary process that takes months. Talk about intimidating!

Thankfully, that’s not what implementation is like with BuildWitt Training.

You can get BuildWitt Training up and running in as little as two days. Here’s how it works:

  1. Become a customer
  2. Meet with Customer Success
  3. Do a soft rollout to your team
  4. Follow up with Customer Success 
  5. Fully deploy BuildWitt Training
  6. Receive ongoing support

1. Become a customer

Once you sign your customer agreement, our Customer Success team gets notified that you’re a new customer. 

Your designated Customer Success Manager (CSM for short) will reach out to you within two to four hours. They’ll get you access to log into BuildWitt Training for the first time, along with instructions on how to do that. 

They’ll also schedule your first implementation meeting.

2. Meet with Customer Success

Your first meeting with Customer Success will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour. It will have three goals: get to know each other, set expectations, and walk through the software.

Get to know each other

It’s important to get to know your CSM, and vice versa! They’ll start the meeting with a few questions to help build your relationship. 

You can expect them to ask things like: 

  • How long have you been at the company?
  • What do you do specifically?
  • What types of work does your company do? 
  • Do you have any exciting projects coming up?

It may seem simple, but your answers will give them a better understanding of how they can help you make the most of BuildWitt Training for your organization.

Set expectations

Next, your CSM will talk about your expectations for BuildWitt Training. That includes things like your timeline for getting the software into your team’s hands and what success will look like when they have it. 

The answers to those questions help determine how fast implementation happens. 

Typically, smaller companies get BuildWitt Training into their teams’ hands faster than larger companies. But the fact is you can roll BuildWitt Training out at pretty much any speed you want—regardless of size. 

Walk through the software

Finally, your CSM will give you a full walkthrough of the platform. You’ll get an in-depth look at how everything works—like how to assign training and track your team’s progress. 

Plus, you can ask questions as you go. So if there’s anything you’re unsure about or that sounds confusing, you can address it before you roll BuildWitt Training out to your team.

3. Do a soft rollout to your team

Many of our larger customers like to roll BuildWitt Training out to three to five leaders before giving the whole team access. 

Those leaders can get the hang of the software and see the value of it. That way, they’re prepared and pumped to help the rest of the team adopt the software over the next few weeks.

Companies with 20+ user licenses also tend to use the soft rollout method because it gives them time to think about how they’ll navigate training. For example, how will they tell their people about it? Which leaders will they ask to assign and track training for the rest of the crew? And so on.

Smaller companies with five to 15 users often skip the soft rollout, invite all their people to BuildWitt Training during the first week, and figure it out as they go.

4. Follow up with Customer Success

Your follow-up meeting will take around 30-45 minutes, and most customers schedule it one to two weeks after their first meeting. 

In the follow-up, you’ll get to share any feedback or questions you have since the first meeting. You’ll also get to go over your timeline and rollout plan again, now that you’ve had a chance to interact with the software more. 

Your CSM will chat with you about how you want to use the platform for your company and how you want your people to engage with it. They’ll help you create a plan that’s tailored to your specific goals.

5. Fully deploy BuildWitt Training

Deployment is when you invite your team members to start using most or all of the user licenses you bought. 

Now’s the time to hype up the software and encourage engagement! Invite your people to BuildWitt Training with a simple text notification, get them to log in, and let them start learning.  

If you’ve already invited the whole team, you can skip this step and head straight into training.

6. Receive ongoing support

Once you’re done with implementation, we won’t leave you hanging. Your CSM will be available every step of the way to give you ongoing support. 

Here are just a few of the ways they’ll help you out post-implementation: 

  • Technical support 
  • Continued training on how to use the platform
  • Training on new features when they come out
  • Tips to get the team to log in and engage
  • Help planning your training strategy
  • Guidance based on what’s working for other customers 

Whatever you need, your CSM will be happy to help. They’ll partner with you to make sure you get the most out of BuildWitt Training.
