Golf is a heaven-sent sports tailored-fit for executives who tries to find an outlet to unleash espceailly from their rigid environment. What's not to love about golf? It relaxes your mind, gives you focus and the ultimate freedom when you swing. The grass county is also a relieving atmosphere after your four-cornered office walls.
For the corporate tribe, golf is not just another sports activity or a pleasure jive but a way to persuade elusive business counterparts. More deals are made on golf courses than what actually transpires on the conference rooms. Perhaps, the swing and fling or air accounts for a little crack for
possibilities and opportunities to even change their minds.
Mr. S, that's what we call him, short for success, is a good friend of mine. He used the same tactic for years now and he garners an impressive turn out in sales, marketing and advertising. But just last year, Mr. S had this British gentleman to lure with his bait. He's done every move. He dined and wined with him and his family, even played golf, treated him like royalty and researched more and more just to please.
But with his desperate acts, he remained all the more desperate. He was about to quit, the British counterpart is set to leave. We were shopping for
golf balls when he saw this Nike Mojo Golf Ball. He was fascinated with this "Karma" ball, the only grey piece without prints out of a dozen set. It has 432 mirror dimples and an alluring cover. He decided that it could be a good token considering that it is a high performance golf ball that can pitch high, straight and far with core of high energy and low compression.
He personalized a dozen balls with the title "The British Gentleman" in stylish tinge of blue. He sent it and voila! After two days, he received a copy of the contract deal. Mr. S striked a deal with Nike Mojo Golf Balls!
