The challenge

DG Trainer (part of Hazpak and Falcon Engineering) launched a cutting-edge, CASA-Approved online training program for the Dangerous Goods industry. However, initial sales lagged behind expectations.

Executive testimonial

“

Metrics were not our driving force. What was key to us was creating the baseline, delivering a customized toolset, and having someone guide us toward executing on these tools.

We have a high level of admiration and utter confidence in Bernadette’s partnering with us and continue to work with her.
