PRINT 13: Mood: A Breath of Fresh Air

In McCormick Place, Pitney Bowes showcased what Miller termed a "couple of representative pieces." These days, Pitney Bowes sales representatives rely on their iPads to demonstrate machines, workflows or to pull up a spec sheet.

It was an interesting scene on the second day of the show at the MBM Corp. booth where, in all four corners, prospective clients were engaged with customer service representatives from the finishing equipment manufacturer. Mike Venitelli, senior vice president of sales and marketing, pointed out that a number of customers placed orders for equipment during the show.
