“The course was inspiring! The bite size teaching with each module make it easy to pick up and work through at your own pace. It allows for quick reviews of past sections before moving on when working a very busy more than 9-5 job. I also enjoyed the final module which included information regarding pitching and sales funnels which I wasn’t expecting.”
