-Ernesto Tovar, Sales & Operation Manager, HISCO

Overview

Distribution has evolved so rapidly and branch managers are being tasked with additional responsibilities in areas of operations and finance. Managers have been forced to become entrepreneurs and no longer manage just the day-to-day operations. Often, managers in their transformed role see themselves making critical business decisions but most times are not equipped with the right tools and best practices for decision making. This course will help branch managers get a 360 degree business understanding in a week.
