| Article | Italian tile and stone manufacturer GranitiFiandre, a world leader in the production and distribution of porcelain tile, recently held its annual US national sales meeting at the Belvedere Events & Banquet Facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, followed by an intense team-building activity. The two-day event, hosted by GranitiFiandre, gathered the company’s sales and architectural representatives for a series of motivational meetings, scholarly sessions and tutorial training seminars. The event peaked on Thursday, October 18, 2007, when the seasoned sales representatives challenged the rookies to three games of cosmic bowling at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa’s private bowling alley in Itasca, Illinois. “Our meetings were intense,” said Jeanne Nichols, vice president sales and marketing for GranitiFiandre in the United States. “The group needed an activity that would allow them to relax, have fun, and rejuvenate for the next day’s sessions.” About GranitiFiandre Founded in 1961 in Castellarano, Italy, GranitiFiandre has for decades supplied global customers with the highest quality selection of fine architectural surfacing solutions.
