KnowHow, Inc.

Founded in March 1997, KnowHow Inc. is a pioneer in online learning. The Company is executing a powerful strategy to build the premier brand in the online sales training industry. This strategy brings together a differentiated blend of technology, learning methodology and branded content that delivers superior value to targeted groups of customers.

During the past two years the Company has developed a sophisticated online learning system called HyperLearning™. Based on proprietary software, custom online learning solutions have been implemented for some of the top companies in the world; industry leading companies like Hewlett-Packard, Warner-Lambert, Deluxe Inc. and IBM. The learning methodologies and technology solutions provide a solid foundation for future growth.

In response to the growing market demand for distributed, prepackaged training solutions, the Company has developed proprietary, branded content. The Company has targeted both businesses and consumers in the lucrative sales training market of over 4 million sales professionals

In March of 1999, the Company signed agreements with the most respected names in the sales and marketing field. Fourteen "marquee" names, high-profile sales training professionals, have contributed their expertise to KnowHow to develop training titles using the Company's HyperLearning™ methodology. These co-branded products will be sold and delivered at KnowHowZone located on the Web at 209.98.51.2.

"I receive inquiries from training companies at least once a month asking me to work with them. KnowHow not only has the best technical vehicle for delivering training, they also have a superior training methodology. Combine that with great graphics and solid faculty, and KnowHow clearly is the industry leader."

- Chuck Reaves, author of Differentiating From the Competition

The Team

His career began in the film industry having produced a major motion picture ("This Is Now, That Was Then") before focusing his attention on communication and training programs for major companies.
