The Polished Professional Online Program

Mentor: Cindy Grosso, Charleston School of Protocol

According to a study conducted by Harvard, Stanford and Carnegie Learning Institute, your success in business is attributed: to:

  • 15%  your technical skills
  • 85% your social skills, interpersonal skills or what I term “polish.”

If polish is so important, then how much time have you invested in learning this valuable tool?

The Polished Professional Online Program is a four module learning series that will teach you the silent skill set you need to get people to trust and like you quickly and easily. It is delivered in a convenient online format.

People do business with people they like…because they can!!!.

The Polished Professional allows you to learn the skill of polish right now…right where you sit…instantly from the privacy, comfort and convenience of your own computer.

HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE?

Because each individual is different, it isn’t possible for us to say exactly how long the course will take YOU to complete. The program is taught via audios, videos and PDFs for your learning enjoyment.

It is a state of the art, interactive course that has audio and visual components that speak directly to you….with talking text, click and drag, question and action and an interactive place setting.
