Viddler is an online sales training platform with integrated tools for practice and evaluation. The Viddler service offers video-based instruction and optional coaching and allows customers to engage with course content through guided assignments and self-recorded practice sessions.
History
The company, headquartered in Bethlehem, PA, was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie, Greg Gurevich, and Donna DeMarco.[1]
Viddler no longer provides a free service for non-commercial users.[2] In 2010, Viddler began focusing less on video enthusiasts and self-generated content hosting, and more on business verticals, including corporate communication and training, education, and publishing.[3][4] Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler recently announced it was going to close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.[5][6]
In 2013, Viddler was issued a patent "for displaying a video and an overlay or tag" as used by video asset administrators and viewers.[7][8]
In January 2017, Viddler initiated a soft launch of its sales training product with Michael St. Lawrence.[citation needed]
