Share Post

Running a floral business comes with its unique set of challenges. One of which can be securing meetings with key decision-makers, like the General Manager (GM). In this 5-minute podcast episode, I share my insights and strategies on what happens if the GM won’t see you.

Episode Highlights:

1. What to Do When You Can’t Get a Meeting with the GM: It’s frustrating when you’ve prepared your pitch, and the GM is unavailable. I’ll discuss alternative approaches and how to navigate this roadblock effectively.

2. Tips to Stay Persistent and Professional: Persistence is key, but so is maintaining professionalism. Learn how to balance both to keep the door open for future opportunities.

3. Real-Life Examples from My Own Experiences: I’ll share stories from my own journey, detailing how I’ve handled similar situations and what worked for me.

Key Takeaways:

  • Be Resourceful: Find other ways to get your message across. This could involve reaching out through different channels or connecting with other influential people within the hotel.
  • Stay Professional: Even when faced with rejection or delays, like when the GM won’t see you, maintaining a professional demeanor is crucial. It leaves a lasting positive impression.
  • Learn and Adapt: Each experience is a learning opportunity. Use what you learn to refine your approach for the next time.

Remember, every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Stay persistent, stay positive, and keep pushing forward. You’ve got this!
