Fabrice Guercio

Like my previous experience I sale and distribute wines from around the world to the on trade.
The difference? much bigger company in many ways
(Porfolio,distribution,Marketing etc)

2009 will not be an easy year for a lot of businesses:
Therefore: In a world where business have no more principals..or very few left
1)The best Services to your costumers from YOU and your company are very
important
2)The Best value for what you are offering
3)Keep your promesses! if there is no trust there is no Business!

On a fun note: Close the deal when you get to the middle of a good bottle
of wine...then of course, finish it and enjoy it!

Have a great 2009... wishing you to drink a lots of great wines
