We have been working with our mentor over a period of a few months. He has helped us to expand our business significantly. With his help/guidance we have developed a corporate image and a professional and efficient on-line presence, through an easily accessible, user-friendly website and via social media. Our seasonal sales have increased by > 50%. We are very impressed by both Michael and the positive effect taking part in GREBE has had on our business in a relatively short period of time.
