MICDROP Training and Consultancy

To ensure the best results for our clients, we recommend a one hour meeting before making recommendations in this space to identify where your business currently is at, what areas you would like to see improvements and then prepare a proposal outlining recommendations for training or consultancy services based off the information received.

All trainings and consultancy projects are then designed and tailored to be specifically related to your individual business. We provide a wide range of cost reduction strategies to implement in tourism businesses to reduce overheads and trainings for converting more leads, identifying clients and delivering a winning site inspection to increase your conversion rate on opportunities.
