WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
"Thank you for your outstanding seminar, The Riddle of the Exporter.  You did a phenomenal job of keeping us alert and invested in your presentation.  I’ve been to countless seminars covering imports/exports, and yours truly was the best, most useful one for practical application.  I hear a lot of presentations cover theory, but your focus on real-life application is one aspect that distinguished yours from the rest.  I walked away with a wealth of knowledge, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to attend."

~ Alex H., Dallas Rugs 
ELyse did a phenomenal job teaching The Riddle of the Exporter and keeping all of her students engaged the entire time. It was a fun and competitive learning environment and I am pleased that Kansas Global had the opportunity to offer this class to our community’s leaders. I would recommend business owners, elected officials, city leaders, and anyone in an economic development position to attend her class. –

The word that best describes the "RIDDLE OF THE EXPORTER' training is "AWESOME". Elyse's ability to imprint the knowledge and skills she's gained through her myriad of international trade experiences is literally "amazing!" The role playing and other teaching abilities allowed the class representing a broad spectrum of professions, backgrounds, interests along with our small business community to each gain new understandings and abilities that will benefit them professionally and personnally. Yes... I would highly recommend this training and its trainer... well worth the investment of time & money. You won't regret a minute!!!

~ Georgette F. Reyes, Pacific Islands Small Business Development Center Network (Guam)
The Riddle of the Exporter is a great learning opportunity for someone who knows nothing about exports or for the person who already knows it all.
​I was engaged in what Elyse was teaching the entire time. The best part of the class is walking away with a guide to get you through the export process and having the knowledge to use it. I have never had so much fun taking a class on exports and would take it again if the opportunity presented itself. –


~ Holli Schletzbaum, Marketing and Communications Manager at Kansas Global Trade Services
“Prior to attending The Riddle of the Exporter Seminar, I had a very general understanding of the Import/Export world.  Elyse Eriksson did an incredible job, not only teaching the material, but she also made it unbelievably fun and easy to understand!  I walked away from her seminar with much more valuable information than I expected.  As a Business Banker, I can now confidently speak to Import/Export transactions and help my clients succeed financially.  I would highly recommend The Riddle of the Export Seminar to any new or existing Business Bankers, as well as any Business Owners that are interested in entering the Import/Export arena.”

~ Megan N. Citibank 
"Thank you so much for your instruction and enthusiasm in teaching “The Riddle of the Exporter” seminar.  Earlier in my career, I actually worked for some large Freight Forwarders and Supply Chain Companies, so some of what was discussed was a review for me but I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard those topics presented in a comprehensive manner in a fashion so easy to grasp.  That’s quite an accomplishment!" 



~ Ken C., B2B CFO
“The Riddle of the Exporter was almost too much fun to be a training class.  I entered with literally zero knowledge of exporting other than by definition and worried I would hold my team back in the competition style training.  Elyse’s interactive program practically guarantees that you will learn if you participate.  By the end of the session, I not only understood the process and terminology of exporting, I actually felt prepared to create a plan to take a product international.  This training is worth every penny and an enormous benefit for anyone considering entering the global market or wanting to be a valuable export advisor as their clients plan to expand their business.”

~ Leya V.  Citibank
“As a Business Banker, I highly recommend attending The Riddle of the Exporter Seminar. The seminar is advertised toward new exporters however there is so much good information, even companies that have been exporting for years can benefit from this information and The Riddle of the Exporter 8-step process. Most people would consider exporting a complex and "dry" topic, however Elyse made it fun, interactive and interesting. Her energy and enthusiasm about the benefits of exporting was contagious. I look forward to having her back”

I attended the two-day export training for businesses on Guam and found Ms. Eriksson to be a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker/trainer. She elicits audience participation in a non-threatening approach---one that is filled with fun, facts and information. Her training techniques are very professional with no dull moments!

Her excitement and passion for the information she covers is a testament of her knowledge of the topic – exporting. This is not an easy topic to present in a very logical fashion that would encourage business owners to get all excited, but it is what exporters need to start or expand their business. I highly recommend that anyone interested in exporting take the time to attend her trainings. It is well-worth the money invested!

~ Frank Crisostomo-Kaaihue, Director Guam Veterans Business Outreach Center

The PISBDCN had Elyse Eriksson present a two-day export training for the businesses on Guam and found her to be a fabulous trainer. Her training is very interactive with the audience. She has one of the best techniques I have seen for the attendee retention of the information long after the training.

The information covered is presented in a very logical way and is exactly what exporters need in order to start or expand their exports. I highly encourage any organization to hire her to present or anyone interested in exporting to attend a training she is conducting."

~ Casey Jeszenka, Network Director, Pacific Island SBDC Network
"In the Riddle Exporter training, I learned things I could use. Elyse provided logical steps, then she tied it all together with an interactive game and competition, which held everyone's attention at our table. I looked forward to returning to the class on day two. She also provided resources that I can use long after the training ended.

Thank you, Elyse, for the outstanding theatrical presentation of a subject that would normally cure insomnia."

~ Jerry Crawford, President, Seattleguam.com

“ The Riddle of the Exporter” seminar by Elyse Eriksson was terrific!  The seminar provided a step-by-step program beginning with researching the opportunity and continuing all the way through the entire legal, regulatory, transportation and financing considerations.  After attending, I had a much better understanding of how to approach exporting, what needed to be considered and what resources were available to help.  Elyse presented the material in a very interesting way that really helped to keep your attention.  I highly recommend this seminar for anyone wanting to understand more about how to become involved in exporting.

~Miller S, Kentucky SBDC, Center Director
