My business tends to slow down in the summer, and July of 2014 has been no exception. It's been a great time to develop a Learning Management System (LMS) for my training content. What's an LMS? It's a web-based platform for viewing my training materials. Once it's operational, you'll have the opportunity to view a variety of my training presentations at a time of your choosing without leaving your desk. Not as good as in-person, but just right when scheduling prevents attendance at one of my Training Seminars or Public Webinars, or you're not able to schedule Onsite Training.
Whatever training you need or questions you have, I'm here to help.
