The
Logic of Success
|
|
I
remember moving my family to Argentina as Vice President
of Sales for Latin America. I was in charge of managing
five regional offices, Argentina of course being
one of them. (...)
My task was to increase the sales locally in Argentina,
but more importantly throughout Latin America.
I
remember sitting in my office one day, looking
out the window and wondering, “How the heck am
I going to grow this business with problems in
Mexico, Brazil, Puerto Rico and other hot spots?
“How can I grow this business beyond $14M when
no one in the past has been able to do so?” Forget
the movie Sleepless in Seattle, I was “Sleepless
in Argentina,” trying to map out a strategy. How
would I make “sales” happen?! ”
