We like to thank you again for our great showcase last week in Lisbonne. For us as a vendor, it has been a fantastic opportunity to talk with everybody and reinforce relationship with your people. This showcase has been a real tool to deep dive into each specific country strategy, sharing in a very open way either strengths to leverage, or weakness to improve, and a lot of positive ideas came out of all discussions. I'm sure that we will be able to measure new business for 2012 coming out of it, and be sure that we will keep "pushing" to make it happen with your team ... Again congratulation for this impressive Team Sprit, and your Fantastic sales organization ! » - Brice NICOLAS (Sales Director Europe Pentair Water Pool and Spa) and all the Pentair team.
