@Jane that's good, thanks :)
Jane F May 14, 2013:
how about something along the lines of "certain unexploited seams of activity still exist". Or, "some rich seams of activity remain to be exploited".
Louisa Tchaicha (asker) May 14, 2013:
@njweatherdon Here is the following sentence: "Il existe des petites capitalisations capables de déployer leur activité de niche dans le monde entier. Elles pourraient surprendre en bien. "

we haven't picked the richest pockets

I think this could allude to the quotation from Véron below:

Revue de Paris (Bruxelles) - Page 102 - Google Books Result
books.google.fr/books?id=MIAhzhgPyx4C
Revue de Paris by Louis Désiré Véron, 1838
"N'allez pas mettre vos mains dans des poches de qualité. Faites réflexion que , pour un louis d'or que vous voleriez , vous pourriez en perdre mille fois davantage; car, si je réussis à plaire à de si puissantes personnes,notre fortune est assurée."

If so, it is slightly ironic because Véron was warning against metaphorically picking the pockets of rich potential patrons.

regarding quality, we have yet to explore all avenues

I believe the client is looking for some new avenues to explore to improve revenue or quality control for the company.
