Sonja is a positive, supportive and driven person. I found her to be a great problem solver, a clever marketer and somebody I could learn so much from as she continued to provide me with ample opportunities to grow.

Sonja designed the sales training course specifically for our business. She used real-life client examples which was great. The sales training is useful regardless of a travel consultant’s experience. Thank you Sonja for your time and effort with building this course for the team.

Matias

Travel Specialist

I really enjoyed the interaction, audiovisuals and real examples. I’d really like to learn more and dig deeper into our client avatars and how to communicate with them even better. I would recommend this training to others, it gives good new perspectives to consider and try.
