Go Tom!

How Refreshing and Fantastic for modern day business that Tom is the first Apprentice.

Tom seems to personify the new age of business where we don’t have shaft others to get what we want – new business is about relationship building and taking a long term approach to business decisions rather than a ‘Hit the target at all costs’ attitude which is so short term. As was said on the show NZ is a small place and you don’t want to act in way that will ruin your ethical reputation – New Zealand does business like a small market town and we ask our friends or work colleagues to recommend people – in many other larger counties, with much bigger populations, the criteria and process for choosing a company to do business with is much different. Don’t Forget New Zealand is about ‘Who Do you Know?

it doesn’t mean either that you have to be soft, so negotiate hard and build strong relationships and see who else you can help to build their businesses – join a BNI group or some other networking group for the industry you are in and go with the attitude of ‘How can I help others to build their business’ and you will watch your own profits soar!
