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.

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.
