Viddler is an online sales training platform with integrated tools for practice and evaluation. Its services offer video-based instructions and optional coaching and allow the consumer to engage with course content through guided assignments and self-recorded practice sessions.
History
The company is headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie, Greg Gurevich, Joshua Mann, and Donna DeMarco.
Viddler no longer provides a free service for non-commercial users. [1] 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. [2] Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler announced in 2014 that it would close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.
