Listening to Jay’s ‘’Guilty until Proven Innocent’’ I received a phone call from my last employer; I don’t what to write his name, so let’s call him T.P. ;). Right now T.P. is in a big financial jam because his big business deal didn’t materialize. His is asking me to talk with some people in Italy, so that we can meet with them and maybe get some financing from them, but I don’t know what to say; I told him that this people that he is trying to reach are not at his level, they are up on the scale and we can’t just go there and ask for money. T.P. commented on that by saying: ‘’ Don’t tell me what to do, when I was counting millions of euro you where still in high school, I invented this business and this is my idea so just do like I tell you!’’. This is not how a leader or a manager should act, he must take in consideration my opinion, analyze the situation realize that on a scale of 1 to 10 he is at 5 maybe 6, these people are at 9, so learn from my experience don’t take quick decisions analyze, think, do your home work before you act; because you reaction will affect your future relationship with future partners. Let’s not forget that this is the second time he is trying to meet with this guys. He tried to meet with them in January and they refused because there loaning system was not ready.
So what did I do? I talk with the guys in Italy, and they told me that if T.P. wants to meet with them they have no problem, but not to talk about financing because they can’t promise anything right now.
What is this? I was right? O no . I talked you T.P. and his reaction was: ‘’ No problem, the important thing is that they want to meet with us’’, dear readers this is the judgment of a desperate man; by meeting with this people before the right time (when they start their financial program) he will lose a lot of money (tickets, hotels etc = 4000 euro) and a lot of time (3 days). He will realize nothing, in contraire maybe they will realize how despaired this man is, and they will not do any more business with him or they will give him a bigger loan interest.
Again learn from this.
