Eating our own cooking

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” 
– Benjamin Franklin

Refreshed, inspired, and feeling energized from our 2025 National Sales Meeting (we call it our NSM) last week in Palm Springs, we started this week with a Zoom session featuring our thought leader partner Mike Heslin of 1st90, who launched a custom Comet designed to help us continue the momentum.

Comet is a 1st90 mobile app and impact management platform designed to enhance and measure ROI by turning insights from events into behavior change back on the job through micro learning, action steps, social dialogue, gamification, and more.

Since its launch last September, “Feedback by and large has been hugely positive,” Mike said.

We scanned a QR code on our phones to quickly gain access to the app, set up our intention and preferred times for reminders, add a photo, and add a comment on what was the most memorable takeaway for us from the week.

We’ll spend 5-10 minutes/day for the next 2-3 weeks refreshing and applying the insights from our event to put our key NSM takeaways into action. As we all participate, the app creates a data connection between our learning minutes, actions, and impact.

Through its AI-enhanced platform, 1st90 can create a custom-branded Comet with your unique content within just 7 days. Comet also includes Foozi, an AI concierge, and integrated AI prompting (currently in beta), which can also be optional.

Using Comet for our own post-event impact gives us an inside view of how it can help your organization. Some of our partners are already using it with clients or planning to incorporate a Comet into new initiatives they are working on to reinforce and sustain learning.

“This is an exciting opportunity for us to eat our own cooking,” Advantage President & CEO Jonathan Hodge said on the call.

Contact us or talk to your Advantage partner about how Comet can help your organization turn insights from your learning events into action back on the job.
