How to Effectively Train Clients Across Poland?
In 2018, Tensoft created the Tensoft Academy, aimed at organizing user knowledge, introducing them to new functionalities, and raising their proficiency level in using the systems. Initial training sessions were conducted on-site – at the company’s headquarters in Opole or other locations across the country.
However, it quickly became apparent that despite interest in training, many clients faced a significant barrier – the need to travel.
“We noticed that despite wanting to participate in training, travel to on-site sessions was a barrier for many clients. By the end of 2019, we began looking for webinar tools.”
The company proactively purchased appropriate equipment and started seeking a platform that would enable professional online training delivery. This move proved extremely strategic, especially considering the upcoming pandemic.
Strategic Transition to the Webinar World
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Tensoft was already prepared for online training delivery. This competitive advantage allowed the company to smoothly continue its training activities while many other organizations were still adapting to the new reality.
“When the pandemic struck, we already had ready online training solutions. Circumstances additionally motivated clients to transition to this training format.”
ClickMeeting proved to be the perfect tool for Tensoft’s needs, offering not only webinar capabilities but also many features supporting the entire training process – from participant registration through interactive elements during training to recording and sharing materials.
How ClickMeeting Solved the Problems
How did ClickMeeting impact the efficiency of Tensoft’s training offerings? Here are the key benefits:
Maintaining constant client contact: regular webinars enabled ongoing communication with system users
Increased training reach: by eliminating geographical barriers, more users could benefit from Tensoft experts’ knowledge
Resource optimization: the same number of experts could train significantly more people
Better system knowledge transfer: interactive webinar format allowed presentation of features users often couldn’t find in documentation
New product promotion: webinars became a channel for informing clients about new solutions
Lasting access to knowledge: webinar recording enabled users to return to materials long after training completion
Paid Webinars and Training Content – A Perfect Combination
An interesting aspect of Tensoft’s strategy is introducing symbolic fees for webinar participation. While the company could offer free training as part of technical support, they chose a micropayment model for several important reasons:
“Our training goes beyond the standard contract scope. We don’t charge large fees – it’s a gesture toward clients – however, we believe the knowledge we share has value and shouldn’t be completely free. Additionally, the time we dedicate to organizing webinars is also a cost for the company.”
This strategy brings the company two key benefits:
Partial cost recovery: even small fees across many participants help cover part of training preparation and delivery expenses
Higher participant engagement: people who paid for training participation are more motivated to actively participate
Advanced ClickMeeting Feature Utilization
Tensoft utilizes ClickMeeting’s extensive feature set, creating a comprehensive educational environment:
Webinar recording: all training sessions are recorded, serving both as post-training material for participants and internal knowledge resources for the company
Playlist: before and after webinars, videos promoting other company products are played, increasing client awareness of Tensoft’s complete offering
Polls: questions are asked during events through the poll module, and post-webinar evaluation surveys are displayed
Q&A panel: each webinar includes a 30-minute question and answer block, increasing interactivity and allowing doubt clarification
Call to Action: this feature directs participants to specific pages with additional materials or offers
Chat support: while the main presenter focuses on knowledge sharing, other company employees support participants by answering chat questions
Although webinars represent additional activity in Tensoft’s service portfolio, they’ve become an important element of the company’s educational and marketing strategy:
- Over 5 years, the company organized over 100 online events (averaging over 20 annually)
- More than 900 users participated in webinars total
These numbers demonstrate how effective systematic webinar approaches can be as educational and promotional channels.
ClickMeeting as a Comprehensive Webinar Tool
For Tensoft, the ClickMeeting platform became a key tool in organizing online events:
“ClickMeeting is an extremely useful tool for organizing mass online events. For individual training or company meetings, we use communicators, while the ClickMeeting platform works as a comprehensive tool for webinar management and pre- and post-event activities.”
The company particularly appreciates the platform’s intuitiveness and ease of use, enabling quick training planning and organization:
“The system is user-friendly – simplicity and intuitiveness help us quickly plan and organize online training. We can easily input and extract data from the platform. We also praise the technical service’s openness to feature development.”
