I have a good friend whom I met when I rented my first office in NYC over 4 years ago. His name is Boris.
It was during September 2005, and I was renting my first office to launch my ecommerce business. Boris had an office in the same floor, and he was also launching his local service business at that time.
Both being entrepreneurs, and owners of 2 startups in the same building, we have become friends right away.
Boris was a very smart guy with great potential. He was probably the best sales person I have ever seen in my life.
One day, while we were having lunch in Dumbo, New York, near our offices, he’s overheard a conversation between two gentlemen who were also having lunch at the next table, and Boris found a way to join the conversation without interrupting them.
Within 30 minutes, he has sold a big ticket contract to these people. It is hard to explain, but when Boris started talking, you didn’t have a chance to say no to what he sold. He looked and talked trustworthy, friendly, and he was pretty persuasive.
