In order to make sure that you get the most out of your CRM, we invest a lot into teaching our users the ins and outs of our product. We’ve got help documentation, an in-house support team, training videos, webinars and CEO workshops for just this reason. All the same, we figured we needed an all-in-one course – you know, a start-to-finish job.So, we’re happy to announce two new sets (Admin and Sales) of freshly revamped webinars, designed to turn you into a (r)expert in no time. (Well, four weeks actually).NOTE: For the webinar schedule and links to register, please see the bottom of this post.
Who are they for?
We haven’t just designed them for our new users – even if you’re a Rex veteran there’s something for you. They’re a step-by-step guide to using Rex like a pro – we start from the basics and work our way up to the more advanced functionality over the course of four sessions.You might not feel the need to watch all four, but if you see some functionality in the following that doesn’t ring any bells, then that webinar is definitely a good use of your time. We recommend you pick and mix webinars to suit to your skills.
When are they on?
They’ll be held on a rotating roster, which will cycle through this veritable Rexcyclopedia once a month – so if you miss a session it won’t be the end of the world; you can always catch up. We’ll try and host the Admin sessions at the beginning of the month, and then spread out the Sales sessions over the rest of the month, aiming for one a week when the calendar permits.As per usual they’re free, and come complete with a member of our support team standing by, ready to answer any questions you might have during.So without further ado, here’s the schedule:
Admin
We’ve made up a new course for our admin and management users. These webinars come in two sessions, each one-hour long, (which we’ve appropriately named ‘Admin Session One’ and ‘Admin Session Two’). Unlike the four-week Sales course, they’ll be held over a two-day period.

Sales
We’ve got a lot to go over in terms of sales, so we’ve split the course into four parts – totalling one hour a week.
