I’m sitting in the car heading out of Houston after a whirlwind 24 hours doing my best with modern technology to get this blog up for you all.
I have to say I’m having a great time (is this work?) and this is made possible by some of the most enthusiastic people I’ve ever met. I thought I was enthusiastic but I just melt in with the crowd here.
Let me start from the beginning of the day. I opened the curtains to this view of Houston.
The hotel further impressed as you exited the room and into this beehive-like atrium. Most impressive.
Catherine and I left for our first appointment in the morning at around 9:30am. Today we’ve seen two of our accounts and two more potential accounts. Catherine wanted my help to convert them from Maybes to Orders. I always prefer to wait for the signature but it seems we were successful.
This gentlemen here, Wes, from Spectacles on Montrose is one of the first US accounts to take our Tailored. I was delighted when he said the following during our chat “Tom Davies and J.F. Rey are my best lines. Tom Davies is my most profitable. It’s easy to sell and it’s my bread and butter.” I liked that statement so much I took his picture.
We’ve just left TSO Cypress where we did a four hour training. They have just taken the brand on and I can really see them turning in to a great account for us. They seemed to understand all the points, created a few Tailored jobs while we were there and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they develop over the next few years.
Right, it's a four hour to drive to Dallas (despite what Catherine says) so it's time to kick back and relax...
