As distance selling and distance learning become even more important to our processes everyday, your team can utilize The Lighting Exchange® Presentations portal to enhance this experience.
For all PRO Level Manufacturers, you can click on Presentations through the sidebar navigation to access your library.
When you first click on Presentations, you will be guided to your Homeroom. In your Homeroom you’ll find quick links to upload a Presentation, go to your Library, and view popular or new presentations.
In your Library you’ll see all of the presentations that your team or The Lighting Exchange® team have uploaded; you can search and sort for videos by keyword, topic, or visibility.
You can upload a presentation via your Homeroom or within the Library, just click the Upload Presentation link to get started.
- Select whether you are uploading a video or slides, that will change the following prompt to show you what the accepted file types are.
- Name your presentation and add a description.
- Tag your presentation with any applicable tags, these tags appear as topics within the Library and ensure your video shows in all the right areas.
- Set the privacy you’d like this presentation to have to ensure the right parties are able to view it and use it. If you hover over each of the options it will give you a quick reference:
- Internal- only your team can view it.
- Agents- your team and Agents can view it.
- Public- your team can view it, Agents can view it, and Agents can share it. This setting also pushes it out to your Agents’ interactive line cards on their websites.
- Prior to hitting publish you’ll want to ensure your files have fully uploaded into this screen. You can fill out the other fields while this is happening but don’t exit the window or hit publish before it is complete.
- Then hit publish!
Once published it will be sent to system for processing and you will be notified via email when the presentation has gone live. Your PRO Agent subscribers and their customers can now view, share and interact with your uploaded Presentations within the portal!
Agent users and Manufacturer users can leave comments and like or dislike presentations to give feedback to the creators, and you can even reply to comments. Only Agents and Manufacturers can see and utilize this feature; it’s great for getting feedback if you need more content or more presentations in a certain style.
These presentations will be a great asset to your team for distance selling and distance learning. Please note that these presentations are not eligible for continuing education units or CEUs. If you’d like to add a presentation for that format, reach out to [email protected] or give us a buzz via chat and our team is happy to connect you with our partners over at The Continuing Architect. There they can ensure your presentation meets all requirements and then get the presentation listed on the Continuing Education section of The Lighting Exchange®!
