I enjoyed the relaxed manner of the workshop as it allowed time for

discussion. An LTI has been designed for my company’s top management,

however the questions will help in my understanding of the process, in order

to implement it more effectively.

I found Sandrine very knowledgeable and not just on Sales Incentives. She was able to make a boring topic quite interesting while also sharing some of her (interesting) experiences on the

topic.

Sandrine is an amazing trainer and facilitator, she has excellent skills of

making the information flow ad easy to understand by the attendees at

different levels. I have attended her workshop in Dubai (…) which focused

on designing employee retention schemes, where she gave some

excellent examples and doable action plan in building up your own retention

scheme. During the workshop she responded with a very practical

comprehensive approach for some cases raised by the attendees.
