On-site training

Supply chain pros get about as much training in a career as sales folks do in one year! One size does not fit all in effective training. Bob brings his expertise to your site, customizing the content to topics important to your workplace! Popular Programs include: Negotiation, Purchasing and Contract/ Supplier Management.

Consider a negotiation program for your sales brethren to learn how to understand the buyer!

On site training requires deliverables, not just talk.
