I always am searching for new customers in a wide form: from retailers to the architects. In the same time I stabilize professional relation with those already had. I save time and money for companies that give me the job, going around the globe to collect for them new possible customers and carry around their marketing materials.

I.E.= I participated at several B2B and fair around the world: either as exhibitor or as visitor: In particular I attended at the most important African fair as BiG 5 of Addis Abeba (Ethipia), of Luanda (Angola), Lagos (Nigeria), Johannesburg (South Africa), Budva (Montenegro). In all this cases I was there representing Italian companies at their Booth, as their commercial sales. We got orders together and we still have a collaboration.

In other cases, I flew myself to visit the most important fairs in the world to keep myself updated: Marmomacc (Italy), Xiamen (China), Dubai (UAE), Ryad (Saudi), Bathala (Portugal), Il Cairo (Egypt), Nurmberg (Germany), Dakar (Senegal), Vigo (Spain), Carrara (Italy), London (UK), Baku (Azerbijan), Poznan (Polland).

I.E. I often go to Carrara to check Bianco and to Tivoli to check travertino Romano; to Turkey to select blocks and slabs of different materials, to Portugal for the limestone, to Greece for the white marble. and it is worth for my suppliers because they can save around 10/15% from the first price.
