Probably the most embarrassing miscommunication ever: your appointment is waiting for you, while you’re sitting in a video call at a gas station in Brabant. 😅
Oops! And somehow, we still managed to close a deal!
I think that’s only possible when you’ve invested in building genuine relationships.
Milan and I have known each other for quite some time through FCN. We’ve gone skiing together, spent time on the boat and visited ADE together. We’ve come close to doing business a few times, but somehow the timing was never quite right.
And then, when we finally schedule a proper business meeting, I pull a stunt like this! 🤣
So, how do you fix that?
Call reception and ask them to give Milan the full VIP treatment. Fortunately, that’s something Tribes does exceptionally well!
So there was Milan, sitting in my office, while I was joining him on a video call from a gas station in Brabant.
Sorry, Milan! 😂
But here’s the good news: we’re finally teaming up to make some noise on LinkedIn!
Milan is looking for new colleagues. And not just any colleagues. He’s looking for the best exhibition stand builders, interior builders and furniture makers!
Especially talented graduates from the Hout- en Meubileringscollege are more than welcome.
So, if that sounds like you, or you know someone who would be perfect for the job, get in touch with Milan Kolk!
Because getting the chance to work for one of the best exhibition stand builders and contractors? That’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss! 😉
And here’s today’s lesson:
Invest in relationships before doing business together. Because when something eventually goes wrong, you can laugh about it together instead of losing a customer.
And Milan, I’ll be there in person for our next meeting. Promise! 🤣
