What Greator Business users say

Kai, M.
Greator Business delivers for me the solution I am looking for. It is THE guide for me to digitize my business so far. And for my marketing, with which I have struggled so far. I'm still in the implementation phase, so can't report any successes yet. But I am in good spirits. If Greator Business didn't exist, it would have had to be invented :-) Thank you for this!
Erika C.
Dear Greator Business Team, Words cannot express what you mean to me! Gedankentanken/ Greator has been a part of my life for about 6 years now. I have learned so much about myself, my peers and structures in management. Here I find readily available knowledge on (almost) all topics I need for my personal and business development. Moreover, I am in love with your way of dealing with customers. You center our requirements, identify needs, respond individually and quickly to feedback. Professionally, I am responsible for service excellence in my company - respect for your performance!
Simone T.
Through the insight into the many different topics, I can only now gradually gain clarity as to which topic is at all relevant for me personally or can still be expanded.
Axel S.
The courses so far have made many changes and had a positive effect. I am slowly becoming clearer and can better name my own goals. Through the different contents, barriers could be solved again and again, which had previously held me back.
Anne D.
Through Greator Business I have been able to learn a lot to build up professional and human knowledge to make myself independent as a trainer. Above all, the spirit that you can feel throughout the courses gives me a lot of courage. I come from a household that is completely unfamiliar with entrepreneurship.
Olga L.
I have been working in academic field till now and the courses have shown me a different world. I dive into the world of development for everyday application. Subsequently, I come from Ukraine and the courses are like an integration for me. Thanks for the brainwashing:-) and new reality.
Christian J.
They have helped me bring structure to myself and my business so far.
