How It Works
Common Sense Business squares this circle by capturing the knowledge of subject specialists who are experienced working with SMEs. Simply put sales courses are written by sales specialists, finance courses by finance specialists, cyber courses by cyber specialists and so on.
By capturing their knowledge a much bigger pool of people can access their experience without the expense or time commitment of one on one coaching or training.
