You were great to work with in every respect, and you had that special touch of anticipating the unexpected so you were always prepared. Your pre-show preparations included a timeline and a checklist, and you were diligent about following it, but always in a friendly and professional manner and with good suggestions. Your Segway riders were exceptionally well prepared with the key selling points and product benefits, and they really motivated attendees to come to our booth.
