Last Monday, one of my prospect client message me asking me to come over for a meeting at 10am on next day. I agreed to meet him on his proposed time and date. In fact I have planned my meetings accordingly and I have actually cancelled my other morning meeting to give priority to this prospect.
The next day, when I was there...been waited for almost 45 minutes the person gone missing and can't even see his shadow. Apparently the receiptionist told me that he is having another meeting. I was there seating in his lobby like a fool and he dont have a coutesy to come out from his meeting. He just dont bothered.
I was shock, equally frustrated and pissed. This is not the first time but this happen few times with the same person. I thought giving him the benefit of doubt.
As an entrepreneur myself I completely understand that you wouldn’t pass up on the impromptu and opportunistic chance to meet somebody so important to your business. I would have done the same. But as a gentleman I would have picked up the phone in advance and personally called the appointment to apologize for cancelling at the last minute – no matter whom I was meeting.
It’s just professional courtesy. If he is too busy (who acting as big as Bill Gates), he can get his assistant to call me and ask for reschedule. I am sure I would feel equally aggrieved.
But this joker, do not have any courtesy and not professional at all. Until today, not even a single message on his blunder. He calling himself as Director of Marketing. What a shame.
I was just praying that soon he will get back the same medicine very soon. I do not need a business from people as such. I have my own pride and dignity.
Fro that very second i thought myself, he can go to hell with his business.
