Testimonies

“Thank you Guillaume for your assistance and professionalism.

Your large array of skills has helped us here, at the farm, to improve our organization.

Your knowledge of asian markets and local distribution networks have made it possible for us to start exporting efficiently.”

Patrice Lambert – la Ferme aux Escargots

If we summarized our partnership with La French-Connexion in one word, it would be « efficiency ».

Since we started working together with Guillaume Luquel in 2017,we have been able, thanks to him, to regain control of our distribution network, boost the business and establish an efficient monitoring system.

 La French-Connexion has now become a natural extension of our company, and is one of the key factors of success of the Sasa-Demarle group globally.

 With key values like professionalism, seriousness, customer service and value creation, we could not but extend our cooperation and this is why we asked Guillaume to cover.

Japan lately, which is our biggest export market.

We are delighted with the success of La Frencg-Connexion and we wish to continue together like this for a very long time.

Pierre Bonnet – Global Sales & Marketing Director de Sasa-Demarle

Export markets are, by definition, markets where cultural differences can be an issue. To be helped in that endeavour by an expert is a real strenght.

Such expert, however, needs to be there physically, with customers, as often as possible. This is the only way to garantee a steady development.

Guillaume has been this expert for us for the last 2 years, and thanks to him we have gained a lot of time o our development.

He is an expert of taste and quality, and a connaisseur of french terroirs, therefore the perfect ambassador for the french culinary experience.

Bruno Cassan – Direction Générale – Andresy Confitures

“In a small company of 33 persons, still mainly dealing with the french market, a sales & marketing manager such as me will never have the human ressources capacity to handle export business in Asia.

 This is why I am deeply satisfied to have a cooperation with Guillaume Luquel from La French-Connexion. He is helping me to develop in complete transparency, in a way and at a very speed perfectly suitable for a small company like us, a very good business in several asian countries at the same time.”

Didier Le Guen – Directeur Commercial et Marketing – Chambost
