"I really had a very good experience with Teresa. The feedback I received was really very professional. I really received valuable information. The plan I received has a great way of explaining the next steps and how we can change things so our focus can be in the right places.

The service is very good and friendly and I was able to explain our needs and received so much information. Teresa explained why she researched certain things for us and how going forward we can look into other things that are inline with our Company products and services .This was a very good workshop as the information and the research for our market was excellent. This workshop also helped to think outside the box.
