How was the last year, what worked well, what didn’t move as quickly as you would have liked?
The last year was great with great progress in both companies. Sales grew and some great names were added as clients – all international. Some clients take a long time to make up their minds and this is frustrating. One needs lots of patience. It is also difficult to find great Sales people. What works really well is that all our clients generating recurring income. We should have them for life.
