Meeting Henk put our startup on the right path. He connected us with everyone we needed to know in Shenzhen to bring our product to life. Highly recommend reaching out to him & his team if you're in Shenzhen.

"This team is great!

It is good to know that there is a group of people like TroubleMaker who can help to develop a product.

I followed the workshop and my favorite things are that the videos are not long at all, but so full of real stuff, and the possibility to read the results of the assignments from participants from all over world.

To my friends I'm saying that it is important to know all about what is available and to enter a social community to grow your own network and possibilities.

Great!"

"I took part in Get Ready to Manufacture and it was fab!

The videos were at great length, and the information was presented in a straightforward and practical way. The questions were also really good. They made me think and understand more about what is ahead.

The most important part for me was that it made me feel like what we want to do is achievable, and that we now have an amazing community who we can work with!

Thank you Henk Werner and your team!"

We run this workshop in our Facebook group where you can ask questions. Our coaches provide feedback and often so do people from the community.

You will end up with essential skills that enable you to select the right manufacturers and avoid the wrong ones. The program does not introduce you to manufacturers.

Yes, absolutely! If you don't like the workshop for whatever reason, we will return the full $4.95 to you. No questions asked.

Do I get to meet manufactures or will you introduce me to some?

This workshop helps you prepare before you meet manufacturers, so that you are capable of implementing effective and safe work procedures once you are ready to meet them.

I am already talking to manufacturers. How can this workshop help me?

By the end of this workshop, you are able to communicate in a way that helps you gain authority status with manufacturers. Authority status is what makes manufacturers run for you, instead of running from you.
