Williams holds
distributors meeting
Williams Electronics held a Euro-
pean distributors meeting at The
Claridges Hotel in London. England. in
early September with Williams' dis-
tributors from every major European
country.
According to Joe Dillon. vice presi-
dent of sales and marketing .tor
Williams. the main purpose of the
meeting was to focus attention on pin-
ball and in particular Comet as an
important product in Ieday's distribu-
torship and to affirm Williams future
product plans.
Dillon stated. "With the dollar
declining and the tremendous accep-
tance of pinballs like Space Shuttle.
Sorcerer. and now Comet. the distrib-
utor/ operator cannot miss this oppor-
tunity for profit "
The meeting included a free
exchange of product ideas and sug-
gestions. Distributors endorsed Wil-
liams continuing product plan to
concentrate in the mechanical area
with ongoing in-house video equip-
ment on new concepts and supported
their endorsement with record setting
orders for Comet.
Individual meetings with distribu-
tor principals were held over the next
two days. giving Williams executives a
clearer picture of European marketing
needs.
Among those attending were :
Marcel Valeta Coma and Enrique
Olivera Casaucau. Cirsa. Spain; E.
