Nexus has been a big help for our growing business. We are great at making our product, but we didn't know much about managing a team. Hiring expensive managers or paying for training wasn’t possible for us. Bakhtiyor’s idea with Nexus caught our eye – it’s different from any other simulator we've seen.
Halfway through the program, I’ve learned so much about how to manage a team in a simple and clear way. It has changed how I make decisions, replacing guesses with real knowledge. The program is easy to fit into our busy schedule, which makes it perfect for entrepreneurs like us.
Bakhtiyor, thank you for this amazing and useful experience! It has really given us new hope and confidence that we can grow our business successfully.
