The following story took place in
Paris. "Rainy day in Paris... I got used to it after one and half year here... Big buildings around me filled up with companies. I just wanted to make some sales. So I got in a big building that was hosting 5 companies.
- First floor: A company that was building and selling structures to hold safely buildings.
- Second floor: A PR company
- Third floor: A Real Estate company
- Fourth floor: A company that was designing structures
- Fifth floor: A company that was specialized in big constructions
So I have been to the fifth floor. What are your needs, I asked. They told me that they have a big project on constructing a 8 floor building with an underground parking of at least 4 floors. So I said, whats the problem. They said that they want that the building but also the parking should be of material that will be really a) familiar with the local environment b) authentic and c) elastic since there was a lot of wind and specifically for the parking they wanted day light down there (something like
Louvre).
Imagine what I did (
Hint: climbing up and down the elevator for three hours). Finally I won that day $20.000,00. Sweet isn't it?"
The whole problem of the companies that were in the same building is...
communication! And the Second floor did not help! It always need a person that will smell the opportunities and do not hesitate.
