Paulo Martins said the Sales Meeting was a good opportunity for team building. "Our meeting aimed to enhance participants' knowledge and provide a moment for teamwork for those areas that maintain daily contact. We noticed the economic recovery in Brazil, so we set out to train our salespeople and encourage them for this phase of business growth. The event was very beneficial for everyone who participated, and we will continue to plan other team activities."
