“ProFound helped us to look into our business model, to re-evaluate, our value propositions. Starting from: What is the key product that we can sell? What is the best way to deliver our product? After the workshops, I realized that our ideas were not updated. It was short and intense, and it helped us to evaluate what is in the best interest of the company.”
“We’ve been coming here for eight years, and there’s always the need to return. Everyone at ProFound is very professional and friendly. They make it very easy for us to come here. The support is amazing. Any issue is sorted.”
“As a BSO, we learned how to help companies enter the market by building their capacity and creating export marketing plans. We’ve gained confidence and clarity. To be honest, I don’t think we would be where we are today without ProFound. We now have a trade promotion unit.”
