Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat hierover in gesprek met Marc ter Haar, directeur American Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands

The New Year's resolutions concept is ridiculous, but only because we are weak, lazy, inconsistent and lacking in discipline.  Apart from those small barriers to execution of desires, the concept works a treat.  The idea of a new start is not bad in itself and we can use the Gregorian calendar fantasy, to mark a change in the year where new things are possible.  We learn as we go along and we add experience from year to year to hopefully make life easier. So as a presenter what would be possible? There are around 4.4 million podcasts around the world.  Blogs are in the billions now, video content is going crazy, live streaming is rampant.  Every single which way, we are under assault from competitor content marketing on steroids.  In addition, there is all of the advertising content coming at us through every medium.  Will it diminish?  No.  What does it mean for us in business? Personal reputation will be built through our efforts to cut through all of the clatter competing with us.  People are consuming information on small screens and are deluged with competing content.  The experience is transitory, because the next deluge is coming down the pike.  How do we linger long in people's memories?  Well we don't.  Even the few who see our content soon move on.  In offices, people sitting next to each other send emails rather than talk.  Phone calls put a dread fear into those younger colleagues entering the workplace.  The anonymity of the texting facility is preferred to human contact.  We are becoming increasingly impersonal, as we are fixated with our internet connected devices. In business though we need the human touch.  We want to do business with people we can judge are a safe option as a business partner.  We can check out their social media to get a sense of what they are about.  We can watch their videos to get a better idea of who they are and what they know.  This is all still rather remote and at arms length.  We don't do business that way.  We want to look them in the eye, to read their body language, to gauge their voice tone, to judge their intelligence through their mastery of the spoken word.  AI can write your posts for you, but when presenting on stage it is just you baby and you had better have the goods.  We want to see what we are getting. To get cut through, we need to be standing in front of as many audiences as possible.  Yes, we can attend networking events as a participant and we should, but we should be striving to do better than that.  We should be hogging the limelight, a titan astride the stage, commanding attention and delivering powerful messages.  That means seeking every opportunity to speak we can possibly manufacture, being proactive in promoting ourselves, unabashed about pushing our personal brand. Yes, there will be haters.  Two of my staff attended an American Chamber function recently and some helpful fellow attendee started laying into me about my social media profile and prolific posting behaviour.  They being very loyal staff were really upset about this, told me about it and were obviously frustrated regarding what to do about it.   I asked them a couple of clarifying questions.  Was the individual or their company a client? No.  Were they ever likely to become a client? No.  Did they have a personal brand of their own? No.  I didn't bother asking who it was, because they are obviously a know nothing, do nothing, become nothing nobody.  If you want to promote yourself you have to pop your head above the parapet.  Expect there will be someone who will want to kick it.  That doesn't mean we should self-censor ourselves, because some nobody is jealous about what we are doing.  Grasp on to the bigger picture here, have courage and go for it.  Those who get it will respect you, haters will hate you, no matter what you do. Public speaking is the last bastion for those who want to take their personal presence to the top.  We are being flooded by information around us, so we need to look for chances to break free from the crowd and establish ourselves as the expert in our field.  It means putting ourselves out there to be judged, but we are going to be judged anyway, so let's control our own destiny.  In 2025, resolve to do as much speaking as you possibly can and create as many opportunities as possible to promote your personal brand. Of course, AI can create a vast number of talks for competitors and can drown the market in content. What makes the difference though is our the sharing of our experiences and the personal stories we can tell.  The AI cannot match this personal authentic factor and we can escape the velocity of the vanilla content which AI produces so effortlessly.  This is how we can stand out and be memorable. When we read text, we can tell this was authored by AI. Audiences will soon start to recognise speech content created by AI and they will immediately discount it and the person delivering it.  In a way, it is a golden chance to standout amongst the AI Lilliputians.  Don't wait for people to clamour on your door to give talks.  Get out there and seek those opportunities for yourself and keep polishing your abilities

Navigating the US-China Trade Wars with Ker GibbsWelcome to the latest edition of the Asia Business Podcast blog, where we delve into pressing economic issues and challenges. In this episode, we're joined by Ker Gibbs, an esteemed former president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and an expert with deep insights into U.S.-China trade relations. Ker shares his perspectives on the ongoing trade tensions, the geopolitical landscape, and the role of multinational businesses amid evolving global strategies.Introducing Ker GibbsConnect with KerKer Gibbs brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. An executive in residence at the University of San Francisco and a partner at Foresight Restructuring, Ker has also co-authored "Selling to China," offering an in-depth exploration of foreign business adaptations within China.Understanding Trade Disputes and the Geopolitical LandscapeKer and Art discuss the ever-changing trade disputes between the U.S. and China, emphasizing the fluidity and complexity of negotiations. Ker highlights how changing U.S. strategies, particularly during the Trump administration, contributed to the tensions around tariffs and broader trade issues. The conversation delves into key obstacles in the bilateral relationship, including questions of sovereignty, economic supremacy, and military containment.The Role of Made in China 2025The discussion shifts to China's "Made in China 2025" initiative, which Ker notes has been less publicly discussed in recent times. However, the ambitions to dominate in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence continue to influence perceptions and policies in Washington, contributing to trade tensions. Ker explores how such initiatives may appear threatening to the U.S., given differing historical and economic perspectives.Multinationals Navigating Decoupling ChallengesAs the conversation continues, Ker offers insights into how multinational companies are adapting to the challenges of decoupling and increased self-sufficiency. He discusses the restructuring required for global businesses to operate in a siloed model, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability needed by companies in these complex scenarios.The Symbiotic U.S.-China RelationshipThe podcast also covers the intricate and symbiotic economic relationship between the U.S. and China. Ker and Art debate how both nations face significant domestic political pressures, affecting global trade and decision-making processes. They examine how multinational companies might engage with these political landscapes, providing potential pathways for future cooperation.Bridging the Policy and Business DivideKer stresses the importance of multinational companies playing a role in bridging policy and business divides, especially in the context of globalization. He argues that while businesses are inherently driven by profit motives, they can still contribute to societal solutions by understanding the broader policy implications of their operations.Conclusion: Optimism and Future OutlookIn closing, Ker Gibbs remains optimistic about reaching a trade agreement, considering the potential economic harms that could arise from prolonged disputes. The podcast ends with a reflection on the importance of continual dialogue and foresight in restructuring global strategies to enhance resiliency and cooperation between the U.S. and China.Listeners interested in further information can connect with Ker via LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram, where he shares continued insights on U.S.-China business dynamics.

China fired off a sweeping package of robust countermeasures on Friday—including a 34 percent tariff hike and rare earth export controls—in response to the latest round of sweeping tariffs adopted by the administration of United States President Donald Trump.上周五，中国推出了一系列强有力的反制措施，包括提高34%的关税和稀土出口管制，以回应美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府采取的最新一轮大规模关税。More forceful and precise counterstrikes are still in Beijing's pocket if Washington persists with its unilateral trade bullying, several sources confirmed to China Daily.据多位消息人士向《中国日报》证实，如果华盛顿方面继续单边贸易霸凌，北京方面仍有可能采取更强力、更精准的反击措施。As approved by the State Council, the country's Cabinet, China will impose an additional 34 percent tariff on all US-origin imports starting on April 10. Simultaneously, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs announced immediate export restrictions on seven key medium to heavy rare earth elements, as China Daily first reported on Thursday.经国务院批准，中国将从4月10日起对所有原产于美国的进口产品征收34%的额外关税。据《中国日报》周四率先报道，商务部和海关总署同时宣布立即对七种关键的中重稀土元素实施出口限制。These elements—samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium—are crucial elements for manufacturing key products used in semiconductor, defense, aerospace and green energy.这些元素——钐、钆、铽、镝、镥、钪和钇——是制造半导体、国防、航空航天和绿色能源所用关键产品的关键元素。Citing their dual-use nature in both military and civilian industries, a spokesman for the Commerce Ministry said: "Imposing export controls on them is a common international practice. As a responsible major country, China's decision to regulate these items reflects its consistent position of firmly safeguarding world peace and regional stability."商务部发言人表示，这些元素涉及军民两用领域，“实施出口管制是国际通行做法。中国作为负责任大国，决定对这些产品实施管制，体现了坚定维护世界和平和地区稳定的一贯立场。”Other measures include filing a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization over the US' "reciprocal tariffs", launching an industry competitiveness investigation and an anti-dumping investigation regarding imported medical CT tubes from the US and India, adding 16 US entities to the export control list and 11 US companies to the unreliable entity list, and canceling import qualifications for certain US companies.其他措施还包括就美国“对等关税”向世界贸易组织提起诉讼、启动产业竞争力调查以及对原产于美国和印度的进口医用CT射线管发起反倾销调查、将16家美国实体列入出口管制名单、将11家美国公司列入不可靠实体名单、取消部分美资企业的进口资格等。Tu Xinquan, dean of the China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that such rapid, intensive and multi-pronged countermeasures are unprecedented in the world's history, proving that China will not sit back amid unilateral bullying tariffs.对外经济贸易大学中国世界贸易组织研究院院长屠新泉表示，如此迅速、密集、多管齐下的反制措施在世界历史上前所未有，表明中国不会坐视单边霸凌关税的威胁。"This isn't just tit-for-tat. These countermeasures, including both tariff and nontariff measures, aim to directly hit the weak spots of the US to make it feel the real pain," said Tu.“这不仅仅是针锋相对，这些包括关税和非关税措施的反制措施，都是要直击美国的薄弱环节，让其真正感受到痛点。”屠新泉说。Bai Ming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that China, as the world's second-largest economy, has taken the lead in resisting US trade protectionism.中国商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院研究员白明表示，中国作为世界第二大经济体，在抵制美国贸易保护主义方面走在了前列。"These countermeasures are not only to protect China's own interests, but also to safeguard the stable operation of the global trading system," he emphasized.“这些反制措施不仅是为了维护中国自身的利益，也是为了维护全球贸易体系的稳定运行。”他强调。The State Administration for Market Regulation, China's top market regulator, also announced on Friday night that it has launched an investigation into DuPont China, a subsidiary of the US company DuPont, for suspected monopolisticpractices in violation of China's Anti-Monopoly Law.中国国家市场监督管理总局周五晚间宣布，已对美国杜邦公司旗下的杜邦中国有限公司展开调查，理由是其涉嫌违反中国《反垄断法》的垄断行为。All of the moves came after China, a major trading partner of the US, was hit with a 34 percent so-called reciprocal tariff by the Trump administration on Wednesday, in addition to a 20 percent tariff imposed earlier this year.这一系列举措是在中国这一美国主要贸易伙伴遭到特朗普政府周三加征所谓34%的“对等关税”之后采取的，此前美国已在今年早些时候对中国加征了20%的关税。Further counterstrikes could include tightening export controls on more critical raw materials vital for US high-tech manufacturing, new energy transformation and defense projects, and further escalating the blocking of key technologies used in extracting and processing strategic minerals, said two sources close to the matter, who asked for anonymity.两位要求匿名的知情人士表示，进一步的反击措施可能包括加强对美国高科技制造、新能源转型和国防项目至关重要的原材料的出口管制，并进一步加大对战略矿产开采和加工关键技术的封锁。China accounts for at least 85 percent of rare earth refining, 77 percent of cobalt refining, 82 percent of tungsten production, 80 percent of antimony processing capacity, and 90 percent of the world's synthetic graphite production. These are all critical materials for defense, new energy batteries, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing.中国占全球稀土精炼产能的至少85%，钴精炼产能的77%，钨产量的82%，锑加工产能的80%，以及人造石墨产量的90%。这些都是国防、新能源电池、半导体和先进制造业的关键材料。Beyond nontariff measures, China could still adopt additional tariffs on certain US products, particularly agricultural goods. Having already imposed tariffs on key US farm products, China is weighing further increases, another source added.除了非关税措施外，中国还可能对某些美国产品，特别是农产品征收额外关税。另一位消息人士补充说，中国已经对美国主要农产品征收关税，并正在考虑进一步提高关税。Chen Wenling, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said, "China could follow the cases of countries like Canada and levy tariffs on US products in a high range of 250 percent to 390 percent according to different situations."中国国际经济交流中心前首席经济学家陈文玲表示：“中国可以效仿加拿大等国家的做法，根据不同情况对美国产品征收250%至390%的高额关税。”The latest tariff from the Trump administration is provoking a strong global reaction.特朗普政府的最新关税政策引发了全球强烈反应。International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that the sweeping tariffs presented "a significant risk to the global outlook at a time of sluggish growth".国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃警告称，在经济增长乏力的背景下，这种大规模关税举措“给全球前景带来重大风险”。Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization, expressed deep concern on Thursday over the decline in global trade and the potential for an escalating tariff war sparked by US tariff measures. Iweala said in a statement that the US tariff measures will have "substantial implications for global trade and economic growth prospects".世界贸易组织总干事恩戈齐·奥孔乔-伊维拉周四对全球贸易下滑以及美国关税措施引发关税战升级的可能性表示深切担忧。伊维拉在一份声明中表示，美国关税措施将“对全球贸易和经济增长前景产生重大影响”。Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, has said that AmCham China is not in favor of widespread tariffs, and it advocates constructive dialogue and policy predictability to reduce volatility in trade relations.中国美国商会会长迈克尔·哈特表示，中国美国商会不赞成大规模征收关税，主张建设性对话和政策可预测性，以减少贸易关系的波动。Quoting a report from the chamber that more than half of its member companies said they plan to increase investments in China this year, he said that ensuring that businesses can operate competitively and with greater certainty benefits both countries' economies and supports global economic stability.他援引商会的一份报告称，超过一半的会员公司表示计划今年增加对华投资，他说，确保企业能够更具竞争力和确定性地运营，有利于两国经济，并支持全球经济稳定。Oliver Zipse, board chairman of BMW, said: "Economic growth thrives through opening, not closing. The increase of protectionist behavior will not create winners, but will result in a situation where everyone is going to lose prosperity. At BMW, we strongly oppose tariffs or other trade barriers."宝马集团董事长奥利弗·齐普策表示：“经济增长靠的是开放，而不是封闭。保护主义行为的增加不会创造赢家，而会导致所有人都失去繁荣。宝马坚决反对关税或其他贸易壁垒。”unilateraladj.单边的multi-prongedadj.多管齐下的tit-for-tat针锋相对monopolistic practicen.垄断行为trade barrier贸易壁垒

Die Multi-Aufsichtsrätin und frühere Lufthansa-Top-Managerin ist Präsidentin der amerikanischen Handelskammer in Deutschland, der American Chamber of Commerce Germany. Im Gespräch mahnt Menne zu Gelassenheit und berichtet, dass die Mitglieder ihrer Organisation weniger hektisch sind als die mediale Berichterstattung es vermuten lässt.

He eventually became the first CEO of Universal Music, based in Moscow. For a decade, he promoted international artists in Russia, including such huge names as Elton John, U2, Sting, and Bon Jovi. He introduced hip-hop music to Russian youth. David also discovered and signed multiple Russian artists to Universal, including t.A.T.u, who would become the biggest-selling Russian act in music industry history. David also did some things that no other music executive in the United States has ever done. Music piracy in Russia was rampant, and the market for cheap, counterfeit compact discs was so pervasive that it threatened the legitimate Russian music industry's ability to gain a foothold. So on behalf of Universal's stable of artists and the Russian music industry, he participated in law enforcement raids of pirate factories and testified in court against the criminal gangs who operated them. David has been extensively interviewed about this subject on television, radio, and print and wrote an editorial about it that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. He also wrote about it for the American Chamber of Commerce and submitted written testimony to the US Congress on the topic of piracy and intellectual property rights in Russia.David is an authority on this topic because of his deep understanding of Russia. He lived and worked there for fifteen years, and raised a family in Moscow. In addition to starting the record label in Moscow, David opened the first showroom in Russia for the iconic American brand Gibson Guitars. David has extensive knowledge of Russian-Ukrainian relations, having opened the first Universal Music office in Kyiv and having developed music reality shows for Ukrainian TV.ABOUT THE PODCAST: Chachi Loves Everybody is brought to you by Benztown and hosted by the President of Benztown, Dave “Chachi” Denes.

China's pivot from open to closed over the past decade has been striking. It wasn't so long ago that tens of thousands of students and thousands of journalists and researchers were living and studying in the country, with multitudes of ambitious business executives spread across the nation's financial capitals. Now, the number of Americans traveling and living in China has hit another low. With less grounded information, what are Americans missing about its most important trade partner and its growing adversary? Randal Phillips knows the crisis better than anyone. The former chief CIA representative in China and a 28-year veteran of the agency's Directorate of Operations, he retired for the world of business consulting, focusing on answering key geopolitical and business landscape questions for global clients. He was also vice chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. Now, he's increasingly concerned about the closing of the country's borders and information systems, making it increasingly challenging for executives and political leaders to understand what they don't know. Randal and host Danny Crichton talk about the recent Department of Justice indictment against the Sinaloa drug cartel and underground Chinese money launderers, and then we cover the fentanyl crisis, the shrinking space for information and due diligence firms on China's economy, the challenges of operating on the mainland and the CIA's operations, and finally, what the prognosis is for China's economy in the years ahead.

Acting Director -General of the Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce Wofai Samuel has advised the incoming US President to show renewed interest in Africa. She called for the strengthening of bi-lateral ties and more investment in infrastructure to rival Chinese investment on the continent. Samuel told reporter Mike Mbonye, the continent expects increased trade and renewal of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act or AGOA

It was a big affair.  The entire Shinsei Bank retail staff were assembled for a series of updates from the Division Heads on what each Division was doing and where they were going.  One of my erstwhile lifelong banker colleague Division Head gave his presentation.  It was dull, monotone, low energy and not engaging in the least.  Unfortunately for him, it was my turn next.  By this time, thanks to my previous work as a Senior Trade Commissioner and Consul-General for Australia,  I had given hundreds of public speeches, mainly in Japanese, to audiences of all different stripes in Japan. I knew how to give this talk in a way which would be interesting for the audience and in a way in which I could grab their attention.  My sharp elbowed colleague instantly recognised there were light years between his miserable efforts and my professionalism.  Did he commit to self-improvement, to build the biggest skyscraper in town, to become excellent in public speaking?  No.  He sought out ways to pull down all the other skyscrapers, so that his could be the tallest instead.  He informed all in earshot, except for me of course, that “Greg is all style and no substance”.  When this comment was duly reported to me, honestly, I just burst our laughing.  Not in an exaggerated thespian, ironic way, but a genuine belly laugh, because the idea was so ridiculous, so preposterous, so revealing about his insecurities.  I had given enough public speeches by that time to know it wasn't just style that was engaging my audiences.  What was ironic was that originally I was scouted to leave Austrade and join Shinsei's Retail Bank, because of a speech I gave to the American Chamber of Commerce here in Tokyo.  In fact, that speech changed the direction of my career, although I didn't realise it at the time. Recently, I was reading an article by Kathryn Brownell in the Financial Times, where she referenced the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960.  Nixon didn't understand the medium of television as well as Kennedy.  Kennedy saw the opportunity to speak directly to voters, rather than just relying on highlighting policy differences. I recall some reports I have come across at different times, which said that those who only listened to the debate, gave it to Nixon, while those who watched, gave it to Kennedy. Nixon certainly made the complaint that the televised debate format brought in a new era where “politicians focused on style over substance”.  It was a dividing line between eras and the future belonged to those who mastered the skills needed to be successful with the new medium. Kamala Harris killed Donald Trump in the recent debate and that wasn't just style and no substance.  She was extremely well prepared and brought all guns blazing to what Trump thought was going to be a knife fight. So what about businesspeople presenting here in Tokyo?  I recall coaching a Japanese President who forsook the opportunity to do a professional speech, because he felt his vendor audience wouldn't be ready for it.  He knew what to do but chose to not do it. That was highly perplexing to me as his coach, but standing out in Japan is never a popular course of action. He just gave the same old boring monotone performance, because that was the norm for his company and industry. It was painful for me to watch and know what he could have done instead. I saw another local businessperson give a very good performance, as he was a skilled presenter.  However, when I sat back and thought about what he was saying, as opposed to just being mesmerised by how he was saying it, I felt there wasn't much meat in that speech.  Before Covid, I saw Shigeru Ishiba, a Liberal Democratic Party hopeful, currently  trying to secure the Party Presidency and thereby become Prime Minister, give a talk as part of a panel discussion. He was slumped in his chair, looking bored and his comments were lifeless, monotone and dull.  However, when I closed my eyes and listened to what he was actually saying, it had more impact. If he wants to run this country, I hope he has improved as a communicator since then. It is obviously not a choice between style and substance.  We need both, and I want to replace the word “style” with “professionalism”, to make the point clearer.  Talking crap fluently is no help and neither is being valuable, but not being heard.  The big difference between Harris and Trump, I believe, was in their understanding of the occasion and the preparation for it.  This is precisely the same for us in business.  If we spend all of our time crafting the slide deck and none on the rehearsal, then our talk will not be optimised. Observe any public talks today and even the good speakers face some people in the crowd who have whipped out their phones and are no longer concentrating on what is being said.  Having great content, which is ignored by the audience, because we are unskilled and so boring is no better than turning up with weak content.  We fail to have any impact.  Let's wrap our numbers up in stories, so that people can remember them. Let's work on our professional delivery skills, so that we can keep the listeners with us, from start to end. Let's defeat the mobile phone, as the escape alternative to what we are saying.  By the way, it will only get worse. We have no time to lose to improve our communication capability.

There are farmers and hunters in sales and both are needed in organisations.  The hunters are energised by landing the deal and bored with the paperwork and administrivia required after the sale.  The farmers are not much chop at landing new clients, but they are genius at taking care of existing clients and keeping them as repeater clients. I am a hunter. I realise about myself that I love finding new clients, discovering what they need and then helping them to achieve their goals and aims.  There is the thrill of getting the deal, manufactured from nothing because you had to go out there and beat the bushes.  Now, not every effort results in a deal. Sadly, a number escape, some go with a competitor (ouch), some ghost me and do nothing.  I always take all three of these outcomes badly. It sounds trite to say it, but I really believe that what we have can help the buyer and if they don't take the offer, they are missing out.  I believe that 100%.  Now, the emotional roller-coaster of sales means we need to have a safety net when we stumble.  We can't always land the deal, so there are going to be more failures than wins.  How do we keep our confidence and certainty intact to allow us to get back up and try again?  Part of this is how we rationalise failure. I always say to myself that the buyer made a mistake to not buy from me.  I recognise I can always do better as a salesperson and that I am not perfect, but beyond that I don't blame myself.  I analyse what I did and didn't do, but I don't allow any negativity into my brain.  Sales is so emotional, I feel I have to isolate that side of me from the results.  When I land the deal, I don't start leaping about the place in unbridled joy either.  I feel a quiet pleasure that I can now help to transform this company's business. That is what we do, and we have seen it happen with our own eyes, so we know it is true and not just marketing pap. Those moments of success have to the leaven out all the failures.  Recently, I spoke about having a very depressing week where one deal after another either fell over, was lost, or was postponed.  That was hard and coming one after another, you begin to doubt yourself.  In sales, it is never about the big deals you have done in the past, it is always about what are you doing right now.  This is the reality of sales, which is why we have to insulate our minds from fears of inadequacy and failure. For hunters, the finding of the client and then transforming that relationship into a deal and a client is what keeps us going.  I attend a lot of networking events and I have my pattern of behaviour.  I always arrive early and stand at the table with all the name badges.  The staff hand me my badge and then can't work out why I don't buzz off, get out of the way and go inside.  I keep standing there and I carefully scan every name.  I am looking for people I already know so that I can use their name when I see them, in case I may have forgotten it.  I look for companies who could be prospects and I look for people I have wanted to meet, but have not managed it so far. When I finish that, I stand right in the doorway and start meeting people who come in. Often they mistake me for one of the hosts of the event but I don't mind that, I want to meet them. I exchange business cards with them and ask them about their business and how many people they have.  That information is enough for me to make a judgment about how we can help them.  If they have few people, then it is hard to organise training and our public classes are perfect for them. If they have over thirty people, then they can possibly do an in-house class. Following that, I work the room and try to meet as many people as possible.  In sales, I have to kiss a lot of frogs before I can find the beautiful princess.  I was doing just that at the New Year's party for the American Chamber.  I had been there, standing around for hours already and had met a lot of people.  I bumped into an older Japanese gentleman who I didn't know and exchanged cards.  Next month we are delivering Leadership Training For Managers in-house, for all of his senior managers.  That is creating a new client from nothing but my time and effort to attend the event and work the room.  Obviously there were many meetings after that initial meeting but I got the deal and we will get paid for the training.  These successes help to balance out the failures like that big Japanese Pharma company who recently told me they went with a competitor – did I mention ouch.  The wins are important to keep us hunters going, because it is tough duking it out in the market.  We need to be resilient and unemotional, both about the failing and in the winning.  We are constantly living on the edge of winning and losing, and that is where the thrill of the chase is determined.
