Working lunch

Today I’m going to have a really important meeting. On my job, important meetings are done in a formal lunch (which for me is fantastic: I love restaurants and good food). Let’s say that eating people understand each other better and are more willing to close deals. Well, let’s go to the point: today I’m going to lunch with my best client and, at the same time, my less profitable one. Those two concepts sound opposite but they are true. I have a little consultancy firm and we have two ways to classify our clients: by his potential and by his profitability. On this case I see a lot of potential, but we are spending to much time in projects that don’t give us profit.

¿What’s the problem you may ask? The problem is that our client workers are the less efficient people in the world. Usually we sell knowledge, but in this case, we sell knowledge, time, and tons of patience.

¿And why is so important? Because I need to learn to say “Not”, and there’s not best moment to learn than when you are under pressure.
