“I think this training is very well spent. My favorite industry training by far. I appreciate all you sharing industry knowledge with the younger generation.”
“I enjoyed the candid conversations regarding how to approach prospects. Real tips in real life situations will be helpful for future interviews/meetings with clients.”
“Loved the breakout groups! I think it added to both the engagement of the topic and the understanding of the workouts. The information is intense but the breakout helped to make it not so dense.”
