We applied it to our sales process and we were able to increase our prices by 50% woho!
Flora
The material was very well curated and separated into clear topics.
Paulette
I love the personalized experience, I like having the slack channel to communicate when I have questions, share experiences and receive feedback. The readings are very easy to read, once I get the lessons going I can’t stop, I also appreciate using different types of media. The email reminders are nice as well, work as triggers when new modules are open every week.
Cris
I have applied to 2 main projects so far and have had a huge business impact. I’ve also heard from many colleagues that the BE techniques were great, they perceived value and saw clear rationale behind my decisions (that was definitely a plus for me! I got results for the business and among my peers!) Thanks <3

Materials written in simple language that I can share with my cross-functional team. Focus on concrete, specific, measureable behaviours.
Kiron
I love that the course focuses highly on actionable points. And of course this Slack group is definitely a pleasant surprise resulting from joining the course. :)

Maybe the best session I’ve been to at my 2 years at Facebook. [Kristen Berman] is super immersed in the topic and able to relate to our workstreams so easily, which makes this super relevant!
Judy Lee
Marketing Manager at Facebook
If I could, I’d magically have every designer, researcher and client attend Kristen’s talks.
Craig Peters

FAQs

1. Who should take this course?

This is for people who want to understand their customers’ psychology, and especially for anyone interested in sales, product management, marketing, and/or design.

There is a treasure trove of insights about why people do what they do. The current product, design and marketing tool kits only expose us to the tip of the iceberg. Attendees of the online course will go deep on these psychologies that can drive us, your customers and thus drive the adoption, engagement and retention of your  product or service. People who attend should be ready to get their hands dirty – you will practice applying the tools and frameworks to your own roadmap as well as get a variety of experience applying it to general business problems.

2. How do the online sessions work?

You will have access to a platform called Podia, which will feed you the modules. It’s like a Coursera course, you’ll log in and have a list of modules to complete! This is primarily self-directed learning.

3. What is the weekly time commitment?

This up to you. You get out what you put in. There is about 1 hour of reading and 1 hour of hands-on exercises a week. You’ll get 2 modules every week.

But the really neat thing that will happen? During this course, you will start thinking like a behavioral scientist. So while there are the actual (and non-trivial) time commitments to be aware of, you should expect to become immersed in the content in a way that seeps into your daily life. You’ll start seeing the world a bit differently. You’ll ask more questions. You’ll be more curious. We even hope that your friends start noticing that your conversation has shifted a bit!

4. How can I lower the cost?

Pro tip: You can ask your company to sponsor you. A lot of companies have a professional development budget for things exactly like this.

We also offer nonprofit and government employee discounts, as well as a ‘COVID-19 front-line worker’ discount. contact us at [email protected] to get a discount code.

5. What are the course qualifications?

No previous experience in behavioral economics or design is necessary. And if you have read a few behavioral economics books, you’ll still learn new things. We focus on applying the behavioral insights to your daily work! Preference will be given to teams and individuals from companies whose work is focused on making people happier, healthier, or wealthier.

6. How long do I have access to the content?

You get access to the course for 3 months – that’s 8 weeks of actively receiving new content, plus another full month to review and cement your learning.
