Testimonials

Kognani Ouatarra
GRIT's research in the business plan really helped me to understand how to succeed in manufacturing, in selling, and the regulation also, about the food industry... how to import/export. All of it is well described in the business plan she gave me.

It is clear from her depth and breadth of knowledge that she is an expert in her field. I highly recommend her seminars and consulting services to business owners who recognize that there are lucrative opportunities for American businesses exporting abroad and want to learn how to take advantage of the opportunities that best suit their capabilities and target goals.
