Rise360 Onboarding Course Structure & Content

Overview

The Agility Recovery onboarding program is built in Rise360 (Articulate 360) and structured as a multi-module course covering sales fundamentals, product knowledge, and tool training. The course is designed to bring new sales hires up to speed without relying on sandbox environments or in-person instruction for the core e-learning components.

This article documents the course architecture, module status, and instructional design decisions as of November 2025.

Client context: [1]


Course Architecture

Module Tiers

The course is divided into two broad tiers based on content type and review maturity:

Tier 1 — Fundamentals (first 2–3 modules)
- Covers foundational sales concepts and onboarding basics
- Content is largely finalized; undergoing visual polish and branding pass
- Gus has reviewed and provided feedback; alignment is strong

Tier 2 — Product & Tool Modules (latter modules)
- Covers Agility Recovery's product lines and sales tools
- Content accuracy is still being validated against current product information
- Gus reviewing for product accuracy; some content is rough pending a 2026 product catalog refresh

Co-Pilot Module (Instructor-Led Reinforcement)

The Co-Pilot module is intentionally kept lean in the e-learning. The design decision:

Design principle: Use e-learning for knowledge transfer; use instructor-led sessions for applied practice where variable outputs are the point.


Content Development Status (as of 2025-11-14)

Module Group Status Owner
First 2–3 modules (fundamentals) Feedback received; finalizing content + visuals Isalia
Latter modules (product/tools) Draft complete; accuracy review pending Gus reviewing
Final module Delivering this weekend Isalia
Co-Pilot module Draft shared; pending Gus review for scenario scope Gus

Known Content Gaps

Product Catalog Problem

A significant gap exists in product module content: Agility Recovery's own team lacks documented clarity on what is included in each product tier (e.g., the three levels of Ready Finance). This is an organizational knowledge gap, not a design gap.

Resolution path: Gus is working with the marketing team to produce an evergreen 2026 product catalog. Once available, product modules can be updated or expanded.

This is a recurring pattern worth noting: course content quality is bounded by the client's internal documentation maturity. See [2] if that article exists.


Tool Training Modules (Planned Extension)

A separate set of interactive tool training courses is planned for:
- ZoomInfo — profile setup, signature, lead import, and other evergreen fundamentals
- Salesforce — Course 1 (foundations) and Course 2 (deeper workflows)
- SalesLoft — core workflows

These will be built in Articulate Storyline (not Rise360) to enable click-through simulation. The rationale: Agility Recovery has no sandbox environments for these tools, making a simulated click-through the only safe practice option for new hires.

See [3] for the full strategy and build approach.


Video Production Integration

New videos will be embedded in the course and produced virtually (no travel). Two recording options are available:

Post-production adds slides, B-roll, and picture-in-picture. Gus is responsible for delivering scripts, objectives, and a talent list before production begins.


Future Course Expansions

Gus confirmed the following planned additions that will extend this engagement:

Project Target Notes
Sales Playbook January 2026 (SK rollout) Versioned; v1 → v2 → v3 over time
Elevate Program TBD Monthly continuous education; mix of e-learning, video, ILT
2026 Product Catalog modules TBD Blocked on marketing producing evergreen catalog
