Training & Education

Above: brand-education content we produced and run for reMarkable — client work, and one example of the retail training programmes we build.

A Training NPS of 93 across 2,000+ sessions a year. We build and run a brand's full retail learning system across EMEA — training-content strategy, train-the-trainer certification, and in-store rep activation — so everyone who sells your product can actually sell it.

Overview

Most product training stops at a slide deck nobody opens. nonplusultra builds and runs the full retail learning system for a brand across EMEA: staff education and brand knowledge at every level of the retail chain.

We start with a training-content strategy, then turn technical product information into content people actually engage with: the product-education films we produced for reMarkable are one example.

From there we cascade it down the chain that meets the shopper, from master trainer to field trainer to in-store rep.

Every programme follows one progression, Ready, Rise, Refine, moving people from the basic value pitch, to matching product to customer, to becoming a genuine brand ambassador.

We certify the trainers themselves through a formal Train-the-Trainer program built on product mastery, audience engagement, and objection handling, so quality stays consistent across every market and location.

Localization is treated as a discipline rather than a translation step: market insight, legal compliance, language, and cultural adaptation for each country.

Delivery happens where learning actually sticks, on a 70-20-10 model: hands-on with the device, on-the-job coaching in store, role-play, classroom, webinars, microlearning, and self-paced e-learning on the brand's platform.

Training is also a launch gate: no field rep enters a store without completed brand training and a demo device in hand.

For SpaceX Starlink we built and ran a training programme across five countries before the product reached the shelf, so staff could explain a subscription-and-hardware proposition most had never sold.

We measure what we teach: a Training NPS of 93 across 2,000+ sessions a year, with knowledge checks tied to in-store execution so training shows up in sell-through, not just attendance.

Perfecting European retail for Shokz.

We opened on almost 110 stores within four months — which surprised me a lot at the time. I don't think there's any distributor or agency doing a better job than nonplusultra.

Driving retail impact with SumUp across Europe.

You essentially became part of our team. You soaked up the brand DNA — brought it to your retail contacts and made them part of our success. That was the key factor for scaling across multiple countries and years.

Data-driven market entry for XGIMI in EMEA.

When I look at those 120 stores, we created a very detailed plan — store level, SKU level, accessory level. That actually improved our sell-out by 3, 4, 5×. Their data and retail analytics setup is definitely one of their USPs.
