Dr. Adam Ernst, Goldkehlchen
Petras hochstrukturierte und positive Herangehensweise hat sich für Goldkehlchen als goldrichtig erwiesen.
Das vielfache Challenging und das Verständnis für unsere unternehmerischen Herausforderungen machten sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Sparing-Partner im Beratungsprozess. Sie kam zu uns als Coach und bleibt bei uns als Teil unseres erweiterten Teams.
Alexander Schult, ONDEWO GmbH
Top End-to-End Beratung von strategischen Überlegungen im Bereich Marketing, bis hin zu konkreten operativen Maßnahmen im aktiven Sales- Prozess.
Florian Fendt, Münchner Suppenküche
Wir wollen ein schnelles und wendiges Boot in unserer Branche bleiben, da benötigt man einen erfahrenen Coach und Trainer, der nicht nur strategisch sondern auch operativ im Maschinenraum unterstützt. Gerade die Expertise von Herrn Nehammer aus Konzern- und gehobener Mittelstands-Sicht ermöglichte es uns, schneller an die Zielstruktur zu kommen, als dies aus eigner Kraft möglich ist. Wir können unsere weitere Expansion auf einem gesunden Prozess-Fundament angehen.
