Upskilling at home with ProPurchaser live instructional webinars
In these difficult times, we have decided to make our live instructional webinars available to all our colleagues who want to upgrade their negotiating skills. There are 5 live events. We suggest you attend them in order, if possible (each takes about an hour).
There is even an informal quiz you can take afterwards to self-test your new skills. Each webinar counts as a continuing educational hour with most associations, such as: ISM, APICS, etc.
Stay safe and good luck at the negotiating table.
