The India Blog

Some time ago we started this blog to post occasional controversial stories and commentary. Since then our sales training blog does that for us. So I thought it would be a good idea to re-use this blog to monitor and report on our 10 day trip to India. Tomorrow afternoon we fly out to train a client in Delhi, and by the time we come back we will have trained over 100 sales agents, trainers and sales coaches. As well as that we will have experienced, for the first time, the sub-continent. We have had many warnings about this trip and we enter it with open minds and with a bold enthusiasm. Items we definitely have: Visas, Imodium, our jabs, IPads and a lap top. When we started this business many years ago, I always wondered if we would ever make it to India. So far we have been to most countries in Western Europe, and the United States. So to make it to India, for the first time, on our own terms, is an achievement. Mind you, the biggest achievement has been actually negotiating this trip. We have been in discussion about this since March? Jeremy and I have spent days (literally) on conference calls and sent countless proposals and attended meetings and re-negotiated and finally, a last, are on our way. We decided, that whatever hoops we had to jump thorough, we would do it, to make it happen. So now we are off. I shall attempt to update this blog on a daily basis. Please let friends know about this blog if they would be interested. One thing is for certain, we will both be needing the Imodium, the only question is who first? My money is on Jeremy - Day 2.
