      I was trained for Walmart.com, Retail Link 2, and Retail Link 3. I got to know many tricks and techniques that can help me build my reports better and help me make decisions faster. Great work by Lori and Heather on answering my doubts and helping me get trained.

      I had a great experience. The instructors were engaging and interesting. I learned a lot of things during the training and look forward to my next training!

      Lori is a great trainer. She was patient and thorough. I signed up for this training because I did not feel confident in a system of which I am supposed to be an expert user, and came out feeling very confident with a lot of new ideas on how I can improve company understanding and practices of Walmart data reporting. Well worth it, Thank you!
