This spring NDTO is excited to help demystify the Riddle of the Exporter with three options to expand your knowledge. The Riddle of the Exporter is an engaging program to help you learn the necessities of exporting. But this isn’t your average training! Meet Elyse Eriksson, or should I say, Betty Sue. She is the queen of exporting and will introduce you to her friends and serve as your guide to learning the exporting process.
Through engaging games, interaction, and zany characters, you’ll have to hold on to your seat as Betty Sue takes you on her journey through the 8 Steps to Exporting. You will travel throughout the whole process, from getting started to market research, market entry, legal, compliance, transportation, payments/financing and cultural considerations. All while being entertained and engaged. This course teaches entrepreneurs exporting by an entrepreneur, so you can be assured it is not your average training. Elyse Eriksson is an expert in exporting and created a program based on user-friendly and approachable tactics to learn what you need to know about the export process.
