Quote of the moment :)

I like quotes very much, and from times to times, after a sum-up of negotiations or after readings, I might post a quote that I find in accordance with the theme or the situation. I think it's alway good to read inspirational quotes, it pushes us to think and observe through the perspective of strong charismatic people and enables us to draw personal conclusions.

The Cinnamon case: sales negotiation

The Cinnamon case: sales negotiation             For this simulation, I was the owner of Offshoot Intermediaries Limited, a family-run enterprise offering drug formulations and baby-food products.             I just had been informed by one of my contacts in the government that an ordinance was going to be issued mandating the use of a specific set of ingredients in baby-foods and one of these ingredients is high-grade cinnamon.             Because of an old issue, the government wasn’t willing to extend the state subsidy of 10% for the manufacturers of baby foods who use high-grade cinnamon in their products but the day before the negotiation with the cinnamon supplier, I met the Food and Drug Authority (FDA) commissioner and could plea my case in front of him and the government council....
