“We recognised the need to have an online presence, but it was not generating sales and we did not know how to approach it. During my (WSQ Diploma in Retail Operations) training, I came to know about other e-commerce workshops available at SIRS, and I decided to send my sales staff for the courses for them to learn how to enhance our online business….This is a whole new universe for us and one that is opening up interesting opportunities.”
