As the owner of a small business that exports roughly 80% of its product, I can honestly say that this training is worth every penny. Most small business owners make mistakes in the first few years as they lean how to conduct business. This is especially true when learning how to conduct business internationally. These mistakes are often costly. I feel quite strongly that had I taken these courses earlier on, I probably might have avoided some of these mistakes, which makes the cost of the FITT training pale in comparison!” Brian Smyth, Yachtsmiths International Inc. |
