Yesterday we visited a potential business partner in Gauteng. We had our preconceived outputs to achieve. Halfway throughout the meeting we realized our planned output will have to be adjusted.After about 2 hours of back and forth talking we reached outputs that far exceeded our expectations.
What did we learn?
- In a meeting you have to adjust your pitch to the meet the exact requirements of the person across the table.
- You have to be open minded and be able to change lanes, switch gears or do a U turn should the direction of the road change.
- Always be open to find new solutions and synergies.

Wouldn't it mean that you lose focus though? Just because one client does not fit well with what you are doing, does it mean the 99 others won't either?

ReplyDeleteI think your point is very valid. What I read here is that your OUTPUT never changes, it is how YOU change to reach the same output!
Maybe Charl can help both of us by giving commenting on our comments
Sorry, by commenting on our comments
ReplyDeleteHi Jakes and Quinton thanks for your support and comments. Point taken. Our output was to acquire access to a potential network of profile holders. The output was achieved but we changed our strategy.
