Ms. Yvonne Hu Cornproducts

Dear Laura, Proposal on Effective selection interviewing skills workshop and TTT We are delighted to be invited to submit a proposal to CORNPRODUCTS for the development of your people. At SDC Consulting, we endeavour to offer our clients not just any solution, but specifically customized ones to meet your business objectives. Through the interviews that we could do with your staff, as well as your managers, we will understand more holistically some of the challenges that you are facing. We are proud and indeed honoured, to be considered for partnership with you to equip and develop the staff in CORNPRODUCTS to meet the business challenges ahead. To demonstrate our commitment to you, I have also considered how CORNPRODUCTS should best invest its training dollar, to glean the best benefit from it. Hence, while there is a priority and emphasis put on areas that will bring you quick wins, as well as those that will in the longer run, bring you the most benefit, I have also added in some other areas that we can offer services that are “packaged in” as free-of-charge. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you would like further clarification on the proposal that we are herewith submitting. Do let me know your concerns, and how we can work together – I am committed to ensure that this will become a win-win partnership for both CORNPRODUCTS and SDC Consulting.

Yours sincerely, Mary Su Assistant Account Manager SDC Consulting Tel: 021- 5858-5883 Fax: 021- 6280-8306
