I was not disappointed, I met experienced people with vast knowledge of what they are doing and doing well- Making Isuzu brand globally the best and satisfying the needs of their clients’.
It was a memorial occasion, a memory that would last for a life time- Thank you ISUZU TEAM, thank you, my friends."

"ISUZU Sales Challenge 2020 was truly an eye opener. Visiting Dubai, one of the most beautiful cities in the world was a pure inspiration with great learnings and appreciation.
The trip presented the team an opportunity to visit IIF and many other memorable places under the program. At IIF we learned a lot especially the critical role the Company is doing to support the African Dealers and businesses to grow and expand the Isuzu CV business in the region to achieve various business objectives.
The trip was organized by the IIF team flawlessly, and it gave an opportunity for different Isuzu Markets in Africa to engage, network, share experiences, opportunities and challenges in the path of growing the Isuzu brand and drive for results. The diversity of the different markets, French and English speaking, gave us an opportunity to learn and embolden the team work and spirit towards a common goal to make Isuzu the best in Africa for which we say in East Africa -Isuzu Tosha! (Isuzu it is)
This being a pilot incentive program, we took back to our markets, the great experiences and moments to create inspiration and challenge our other team members to work towards the program objectives, by creating healthy internal competition and motivation to drive our business through excellence and great execution.
We thank the IIF team for this initiative and we hope the same shall continue to enable and transform other team members towards making Isuzu the trusted logistics partner through solutions and value to the customer.
Isuzu sales challenge experience will remain a treasure and motivation to do more by going the extra mile to ensure Isuzu becomes nothing but the best brand in Africa. We thank you for the great opportunity."
