About our Corporate Structure
Set up for success
Our company is organized for success. We are intentionally laterally constructed, which means that instead of high paid executives at the top, much of the earned training revenue is shared with our Associates. And, we can prove that. First and foremost, we are successful because we treat our trainers like gold. Our pay is the best in the industry; in many cases our trainers earn much more than corporate trainers. Once you have completed watching entire webinar on this site and have sent us your resume you will be asked to join us for a phone chat/interview. After successfully completing the interview you will be given a link to watch a very detailed webinar on our compensation package.
