Since 2002, the Intel® Retail Edge Program has educated and inspired brand advocates about Intel® products and the desktops and laptops with Intel Inside®. It is the longest-running eLearning training and brand advocacy program in the technology industry. Over 500,000 retail sales associates from major electronic retailers have completed over 20 million training modules to date.
Robust and Trusted Resource for Retail Partners
The Intel® Retail Edge Program is a robust Community and trusted resource that helps our retail partners reach consumers during key sales cycles to sell more PCs, create better customer experiences, and expand their loyalty base.
The Program incorporates rich educational content, tools, apps, motivational rewards, and an interactive community—both online and in-store—to impart knowledge about the latest Intel® products and technologies and the PCs they power. Training is presented in various formats to address the differences in how people learn, including videos, articles, and interactives.
As a result, sales associates gain valuable product knowledge and sales tips/tools. Their sales managers gain knowledgeable staff who can effectively present and sell the right products for customer needs, efficiently and accurately address customer questions, and create more upselling and cross-selling opportunities.
