Online RSR training is available now! And, it’s turnkey and on-demand.

Route Service Reps are the front-line face of your company. How can you afford to offer anything less than industry-leading training to the people who interact with your customers daily, if not, weekly? Experience shows that job shadowing and “ride alongs” do not work — new reps only get inconsistent information or adopt someone else’s short cuts and bad habits. With nearly 20 years of industry experience training route reps, RouteRepReady™ pinpoints training on the aspects of the RSR job that make the most difference: being safe, working efficiently, servicing the customer, and matching products to needs. Best of all, TRSA now offers turnkey access to RouteRepReady — available immediately and on-demand when you need it most.


Skills-Building Content in Ten Targeted Training Modules

RouteRepReady™ is delivered online and is available on-demand: when your RSR needs the training, they can register and start right away! The program consists of ten modules, each of which should be completed before the next training day out on the road. RouteRepReady provides the structure and framework for what the RSR should know, be, and do in order to master this challenging and fulfilling role, and provides a structured scoring method trainers can use to assess the progress of the RSR trainee — and their ability to tackle the route independently on their own.

Course Tracks Accommodate Differences in Operating Procedures

Needs, processes, and technology are different from company to company. Knowing this, RouteRepReady™ has built-in course “tracks” to accommodate variations from company to company when it comes to your customers, products, service approach, and technology. And, if you need it and it’s not already included in the program — let us know!
