Reviews
I really liked how Heather used examples relating to the specific business we were in. She knew the ins and outs of Retail Link and was extremely helpful in guiding which reports would be useful to every type of business. Heather’s performance as an instructor was 10/10 for me! She’s positive, happy, has a lot of knowledge of Retail Link and very experienced in the business. She explains things very well and is always happy to answer any questions. No parts of the class were confusing or difficult to grasp.
