But as to the kind of clients that bring me the highest sales figures (which is, I suspect, the object of the question):

I have less end-customers than intermediaries as clients, but the former bring me the highest sales figures. Per client and on the whole.

Mainly clients Aug 12, 2012

I would have thought that all of us mainly have clients (whatever type they are) in our list of mail contacts.
I wish you all a great day,
Nigel
