The CRBSC recognized the opportunity to transform our highly successful Estimating Fundamentals workshop to an online format to address a number of issues: the cost of travel from remote locations; valuable time spent away from the store and offering a learning experience for those staff already engaged in the internet.

Member Benefits
Don’t be fooled! You may think you know your customer and that they will tell you if a problem exists, but statistics show that only 1 out of every 10 customers voice an opinion. And remember, good news travels fast, bad news travels faster. If you have an unsatisfied customer, you may never know and they could start spreading the word.
