Add You - Meeting in Person Makes a Powerful Impact
If you don’t, it could cost you a lot of money. Particularly if you’re a small business, start-up or a company looking for short-term office accommodations. At first glance you might say to yourself, “Executive suites sound way too expensive for my budget.” But don’t be fooled by a name. If you’re looking to set-up and staff an office, executive office space could save you as much as 70% over commercial office space. Executive suites go by several different

At the end of the meeting the owner thanked the young man for his ideas and his passion for the business. The manager left the meeting and felt good as he drove eight hours back to his hotel.

Many people find Networking to be exasperating. They go along to a Networking meeting with the best of intentions. They make a number of introductions, and each time seize the opportunity to hand over their business card. And they are ready and willing to talk business with anyone at all.Yet, at the end of the evening, they haven’t achieved a single sale! What went wrong?Actually nothing went wrong. The only problem is that these people typically have too high
Many people take this idea lightly. I often hear people say that in-person meetings are a waste of time and money. While it is true that you can save money by having conference calls and video conferences, the in-person meeting still has a place in business.
Whenever people question the value of a face-to-face meeting I tell them the story of a young hotel manager from Northern New Jersey. This young man was wide-eyed and aggressive. He was tasked with marketing a new hotel that was opening in an industrial area. The young manager spent a significant amount of time researching the market and putting together a marketing plan. He believed that he had thought of every detail.
When the time came to share this plan with the Senior Vice President (SVP) of Marketing in his company, the manager made a compelling case. He cited his facts and figures. He referenced the market segmentation study he had completed. He articulated a simple yet effective plan for his new hotel. Or so he thought…
After the presentation, the SVP berated the young manager and told him that the plan would never work. She said it was too simplistic. She said that she would come up with a better plan and present it to the hotel’s owner.
The SVP of Marketing had always felt threatened by the young manager. She did not want the owner to see the true talent this manager possessed. She also wanted to make sure the owner did not establish a direct relationship with this manager. The SVP feared that the owner would see the young man’s marketing talent and replace her with him.
The manager was furious with this situation. He felt strongly that his plan was solid. He knew in his heart that it would work. He could not stand by and watch as his ideas were summarily dismissed. The manager knew that he would need to speak with the owner directly to make certain that his ideas were given a fair review. The manager felt that it was his job to do what he thought was best for his business. He also felt that this was a meeting that needed to take place in-person. The owner needed to see the passion the manager had for his hotel.

We all have been involved in changes. A simple move from one house to a new one count as a real experience. What did you most (dis)like about the move; the radical change on the day that you delivered the key and entered the new place, or the long gradual adaptation period afterwards?Each change comprises a time frame, which depends on the scope of the change. The larger the scope of the change, the more difficult to manage the change in a gradual way.The first situ

Tupperware fundraisers provide non-profit groups with an unusual, durable product for raising money for a project. Tupperware fundraisers are not to be confused with Tupperware parties. No party is used for a Tupperware fundraiser. Instead, products are offered in the usual fundraiser manner, with fundraiser coordination done by a Tupperware consultant.Thinking back to the last fundraiser you had, you may have memories of cookies or candy bars, chocolates or pizza.

Entry level job seekers face an old conundrum: you can't get a job without experience, and you can't get experience without a job.This may seem unfair. Entering the job market is hard enough without facing a seemingly impossible challenge right away! Relax: it isn't impossible. Think of it as a test, one that serves employers and job seekers alike by enabling exceptional candidates to distinguish themselves. How? Simply, the good candidates recognize how to get past this o

About one week later the manager received some interesting news. The owner met with the SVP of Marketing (after he met with the manager). It seems that she presented the manager’s plan as her own – down to the last detail. The owner immediately saw what had happened and fired the SVP of Marketing.
In the end, it was not the fact that the SVP of Marketing adopted her subordinates work as her own that prompted the owner to fire her. It was the fact that the manager was passionate about his business and the SVP of Marketing was beating that passion out of him.
Had the manager just met with the owner over the phone, the meeting would have not had the same impact.
Two years later when the hotel manager was promoted the owner used that meeting as an example of his passion and dedication to the firm.
There is no substitute for an in-person meeting to give the other party a sense of your personal brand.
