Simply Business…
February 13th, 2007 by robin
I have been in India for five days now, and will be returning home in two days. During this visit I have been impressed time and time again by the industriousness of the local business people. Especially the street vendors, who sell food, trinkets, tourist gifts, cigarettes, t-shirts, coconut juice in fact anything that may find a market, someone is selling to that market. However, the marketplace is very, very competitive, and yet within two days of arriving, I had found my regular restaurant for dinner, a regular taxi driver and a regular mid afternoon beach café.
I don’t know if all these local business people read much management theory, or books on personal development, or books on how to get rich, but I do know they all knew how to engage prospective customers, and once they have become customers keep them.
Business is simple most the time; maybe sometimes in our search for the next new fad, we miss the basics, which I have seen here in abundance.
