As you can see from the following bar chart, some distributors are taking advantage of the free program to educate their employees to be more successful in servicing their customers. The bar chart shows the top ten distributor companies that are participating in the courses.  The two bars indicate; first the number of employee courses taken and the second bar indicates the number of employee courses test taken and past.  DISTRIBUTORS, get your employees registered for this FREE 24/7,  manufacturer product educational program.
