This is a very “hands-on” workshop so participants should be prepared to invest time working on their business outside of the workshop. Here’s what previous participants have said about it:
“$500 was the right price. Chamber partner discount was an incentive, as was the rebate.”
“My company really refocused our sales process with estimating, and I’ve improved my leadership and delegating.
“It was helpful to practice talking in front of groups, and to learn how to give feedback.”
“If I hadn’t taken this class, my company wouldn’t have been in as upward position as it is.”
“Can’t think of any part of the program that wasn’t excellent.”
“I’ve made back the cost of the program in the increased revenues my business has realized since I took the program.”
