Lizzy Training Class Schedule
nizeX will continue to host specialized training classes at our offices in McDonough, GA in 2013. The first class is scheduled for January 7. Over the last couple of years, we’ve conducted training that covered the entire range of features in the Lizzy BMS/CRM system. The training always resulted in nothing but positive feedback from all who attended.
The longer format classes present a bit of a challenge in that it requires much more planning and coordination to setup, to schedule and to deconflict everyone’s busy calendars. People that want to attend can’t, because of scheduling conflicts or they can’t afford to be gone for 3-4 days to come to a training class. Another issue is who to send to the classes since not everyone benefits from knowing the entire system.
With the new format, we will be conducting one day classes specific to certain departments and certain features of the program. The classes will be held in our office classroom in McDonough thus eliminating the need to schedule an offsite conference room. There are numerous hotels in the area so you’ll have many options available as to where to stay. The classes will all be held on Monday’s since many of you are closed on Mondays. This should make your attending the training a bit easier.
We plan to host a class every Monday for the time being until we can see what type of response we get. In time, we may adjust the schedule based on your feedback and attendance figures. Below is the schedule for the first series of classes in the new year.

You’ll leave this class with a lot of valuable information about the overall health of your business and how to keep up with all the data.
Over the years we’ve looked into numerous ways to keep you guys trained and we really think this is going to be the answer. Each class will be $250 per person to attend. To get you started, we’ve mailed out free coupons to each company that is currently running Lizzy . We’re pretty certain that once you come to the first class you’ll see how far that $250 gets you and will want to come to more.
We’re trying to keep the classes to around 10 people per session to ensure that we can focus on the best education possible. Please schedule quickly to ensure your spot in the classes. Contact your nizeX sales representative to schedule a seat in the class of your choice.
