“I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent training program you and your team customized for me. The reaction from our Chinese suppliers was nothing short of amazing! All of the lessons on titles, business cards, language, gifts and gestures were so well received. I have already seen a dramatic improvement in our business communications since my meeting with them last month and they have even invited me to work their booth at their local trade show this year.
