#WelcomeWednesday ✋ Meet Gradual (ex- Onboard), our Wise Guys SaaS & Cyber batch team. Gradual is a platform that is used by sales team leaders all around the world to automate the training and help uncover knowledge gaps in ongoing work.

😁 Interesting fact: Oleg, the CEO of Gradualhttps://gradualapp.com/ , was formerly working in a B2B sales company, where he was responsible for the development of a reseller network. When he needed to help resellers with the learning process, it was fine to have a call with 10-20 people, but when the numbers climbed to 100+, he realized that there is a need to build a hands-free training program to save time and bring more revenue with structured learning materials.

🔺 They are now focusing on entering the UK and Netherlands markets, and if you know anybody who is growing their sales teams and wants to enhance the training process, please, let them know. Meet Onboard here 👉 https://gradualapp.com/
