"Cécile, during the first contact for the coaching sessions, after careful listening you targeted the essential points to be addressed for the evolution and continuity of the UriVabo project.
The tools that you advised and provided me with guided me in the progress of the project.
The numerous examples that you give in terms of presentation, models, references and contacts have helped UriVabo evolve in great strides.
Your contact and your listening skills are for me important qualities in the working relationship.
All the elements combined have been essential to make the UriVabo grow and make it even more attractive.

"We called on Cécile as part of a 24-month sales training mission to upgrade the skills of our sales teams, customer service and showroom sales advisors. This mission was divided into 3 areas according to the missions of each team and individual profiles, while respecting the brand's positioning on the luxury market:
- France and Export sales teams: identification of customer needs through questioning, challenging our partners, prospecting actions, in situ support in customer meetings.
- Customer service team: written and oral customer communication, management of customer disputes and related stress, prospecting actions, identification of the statute of limitations for incoming deals..."

"We have collaborated on many occasions with Cécile Boury Conseil International through various projects to support companies in their export development. In my capacity as regional manager for the development of public guarantees, I have always enjoyed working with Cécile Boury and her team because we share the same idea of export support, namely that it must be structured, ambitious and based on a long-term approach in which the human factor remains the key to success.
I'm used to telling companies to "go and be seen elsewhere", a good number of companies have great know-how and innovative solutions but foreign buyers are not aware of them. Bpifrance provides financial support to exporters by covering up to two-thirds of their prospecting expenses in the form of repayable advances and/or subsidies that constitute a real cash injection. However, these measures are conditioned by the quality of the project, by a coherent action plan and by strategic choices to maximise commercial success. It must be noted that the files supported by Cécile Boury correspond to these criteria.
The advice provided, the training offered and the shared human resources are solutions that are appreciated by the companies supported and complement our natural partners, which are Business France, the CCIs, the CCEFs and the banking networks. Yes, we are very satisfied to work together ! »
David Soyer, BPI / Regional Director of State Guarantees
"We would like to emphasize that we were very satisfied with the program and more specifically with your coaching. We were delighted with the process, the intensity of our speeches as well as with the concrete implementation on paper.
The most important element for us is that you have stimulated us to think about the basics of our business and the assets/deficits we have to approach foreign markets.
This was of course a (necessary) first step for internationalisation and we are aware that other challenges have to be tackled, such as a better
knowledge of foreign markets, our commercial strategy for export etc...
At the moment, a few large prospects on the Belgian market require our full attention, but we have the ambition, perhaps at a slower pace than expected, to continue on our way abroad."

"For this kind of event, upstream support for companies is essential. They need to know how to prepare the meetings, how to follow them and above all be trained to present themselves in English.
At the beginning of November in Amiens, CCI International Picardie organized, in collaboration with Business France, the 3rd edition of French Excellence Design&Decoration, a meeting between companies from the high-end habitat-decoration sector in the Hauts-de-France and Normandy regions and European interior designers.
For this type of event, upstream support for companies is essential. They must know how to prepare the meetings, how to follow them and above all be trained to present themselves in English.
CBCI intervened on these different points, and allowed companies to obtain sound and enriching advice and to be much more efficient before, during and after the event".

"Première Impression is a company specialized in the creation and manufacture of household linen. After almost ten years of existence we had the desire to expand internationally. Being a small structure, it was necessary to outsource this mission and find an expert partner at the international level who knew the decoration world.
That's how we met Cécile Boury and her collaborators and we launched into the adventure.
CBCI's experience, their listening skills, their outside viewpoint first allowed us to settle down and get to know each other better..."

"Our century-old company had almost exclusive recognition in Paris. We needed to develop export sales and first of all we needed to know in which countries our market existed.
For this mission, I needed a person experienced in exporting with a real knowledge of textiles and above all autonomous. Cécile Boury is very attentive to needs, but also to the cost constraints linked to export, which she manages very well.
Cécile Boury International Business Development injects into the company an unfailing dynamism and forces us to move and look ever further ahead..."

"I, the undersigned, Cyrille Leveaux, North-East Interregional Director of the Business France Agency, certify that Mrs Cécile Boury is an excellent professional in the field of international business support.
The polling institute IPSOS conducts surveys of companies for which Business France organizes prospecting missions in order to assess the impact of this prospecting in terms of exports. It turns out that the vast majority of companies that have entrusted Cécile Boury with visits and commercial interviews with foreign prospects, identified by Business France, sign export contracts within the first few months (e.g. Catry).
Finally, it should be noted that Ms. Boury is active in a territory, the Cambrésis, which is undergoing economic reconversion. Supporting companies in this region in their export approach contributes to creating activity and sustaining employment. In this respect, Cécile Boury has been recruiting regularly since the creation of her company."

We wanted to develop our customer portfolio and needed to create a solid export sales structure.

Building on the success of our development in Belgium, I have decided to expand my international expansion into the German and British markets. In order to be able to be up to the challenge in these new projects, it was necessary to close my sales team to increase my skills in order to optimize the international development of the company.
With her training, Cécile Boury Conseil International has enabled the team to strengthen but above all to acquire skills that will notably improve: ..."
