Why Every Business Can and Should Offer Customer Education
Until a few years ago, we believed that customer education was only for large enterprises, but that’s not the case. The truth is that every business can offer product training for customers using a budget-friendly LMS platform that allows you to deploy customer education without breaking the bank.
In fact, you should offer customer education. Customer education can be integrated throughout the customer journey, bringing enormous benefits regardless of the size of your business:
By aligning customer education with your business strategy, you can achieve key business goals like reduction of customer support tickets, reduction of customer support costs, shortened time to value, increase in customer satisfaction, and more.
Overall, customer education can drive sustainable growth for your business… because trained customers are your best customers!

Using AI tools, you can build tailored, personalized learning experiences that meet your customers’ needs and have actual impact.
While you’re in the planning phase of your customer education strategy, AI can help you:
2. Content Creation
AI can help you create your customer training course in two key ways:
Build a course plan
Build your course like an Instructional Designer pro even if you’re not one. AI can create a course plan based on Instructional Design principles (like the ADDIE model, Bloom’s taxonomy, Experiential learning, etc.) to enhance learning. Needless to say, effective learning is key to achieving the goals of the course eg., improving feature usage.
The best part is that you can experiment with different ID theories to see what your course would look like with each one and then you can select the one you like the most, either as it is or certain elements from it.
Design high-quality learning activities
…at lightning speed! Speed is critical in customer education because the faster your customers learn, the quicker they’ll adopt a product. Otherwise, they might abandon the product or leave a negative review. So, each time you have a new feature or product release, you want to get out that content really fast – and you now do so!
Flashcards, slides, quizzes, exams, images, stories, and case studies are some activities you can create with AI. Provide AI with as many details and requirements as possible to get the result you want faster.
When it comes to content creation, AI can address one of our biggest “fears” – being boring! AI can “think out of the box” for you and create engaging content by using creative thinking techniques, humor, role-playing, or critical thinking. For example, you can ask it to explain what market segmentation is with an analogy from cooking.
3. Content Optimization & Repurposing
Often, you may have content from existing courses or other resources that you can reuse. In such cases, AI can you polish your content to perfection or transform it! Let’s take a glimpse into how AI can optimize your content:
Content editing: Simplify, polish, rewrite, rephrase, shorten, expand, enrich, keep writing, or remove redundancies.
Content optimization: Summarize, extract key takeaways, pros/cons listing, translation, converting into another format/activity.

4. Assessments & Certifications
Offering a certification is very motivating for customers who will receive tangible proof of their learning after the program. Similarly, assessments will help them stay on track, refresh and self-evaluate their knowledge while giving you a reliable source to evaluate your program.
Generating (the right) questions to ensure your customers truly absorb the content is time-consuming – unless it’s done with AI.
AI can help you create quizzes and exams (knowledge checks) for your certification programs and self-assessments (quizzes without scores) to help customers evaluate their knowledge level.
For example, you can ask AI to create a quiz based on a resource of your choice, like an eBook, and set specific requirements, like 10 questions with 4 possible answers each. If you want, AI can even autogenerate feedback for you!
5. Marketing Material
Marketing material is a powerful tool to nurture leads, stay in touch with customers, and, of course, promote your program. The thing is, you might not be a gifted wordsmith or have the time to create everything from scratch, which is why you might need some help from AI.
A typical example and very effective type of marketing material is emails. Set parameters like the goal of the email, keywords, and tone of voice to craft emails that sound like you… but better!
6. Data Analysis
AI can analyze performance scores, engagement rates, and more to help you understand how customers are interacting with your program and identify areas for improvement. You can do this manually or you can do this with AI – fast and accurately!
AI can display the results in the way you want (eg. a pie chart) and it can even suggest recommendations to improve your course.
Final Thoughts
AI is here to accelerate your work – and that’s great! But don’t forget that you have the last say; you’re the owner of the content and in charge of ensuring its quality. It’s important that you closely review the output for accuracy and to ensure it’s what you want.
