Our Company

Born of necessity, SymTrain was founded in 2018 by Dan McCann and is well funded software company with a documented track record of delivering on ROI promises.

Our Mission

Our Motivation

The successes of our customers motivate us to continuously make SymTrain easier to use, faster to deploy, highly innovative, and more feature rich.

Our Values

We are customer-first, strive to build and deliver a trustworthy solution, believe in continuous learning and improvement, and - above all - love what we do!

Our Origin Story

Dan McCann, our founder, ran an outbound sales contact center and struggled to develop talent, losing almost 50% of our new hires in their first six months.  We tried revamping training countless times, hiring more experienced talent, and adding our top 10% performers as mentors and coaches – when they had time.

Unfortunately, none of these efforts moved the needle.

Our new hires continued to get stuck when they tried to apply what they had learned in training to real-world scenarios. We knew practice makes perfect, but needed to find a way to scale a role-play-centric, hands-on approach to training.

So, we built a simulator to practice real-world role-plays. It worked so well that Sym-training became our coaching standard for all employees, and new hire retention grew to over 90%!

And with that, SymTrain was born!
