In today’s business world, where everything is about cutting cost, trying to get as much out of a ringgit value, we often heard bad comment about suppliers. If you can get what you want & more, if the supplier is always there despite the issue is big or really minute, it doesn’t really matter if the demand is reasonable or important & necessarry, then the supplier is good (not even excellent, mind you :p).

On the reverse end, I wonder if there is such a thing as good customer ? If there is, what then would be the criteria…hmmm

Well, in the past 1.5 months, I have the opportunity to work with one which I can classify under this category. I was approached by this European based company to assist  them in hiring for their AP operation here. They just entered the AP market. As usual, we met up in this formal pre-sales meeting. Instead of me pitching for the partnership, the CEO was very organized, structured, knows exactly what he wants, with a good sense of direction, but most of all, his open-ness in his approach. I guess the very principal of his appraoch was TRUST which is amazing. As the working relationship developed, I realised it doesn’t just come from the CEO, but the same attitude has been adopted by its management team. There is no “airs” in them. They are certainly truthful, willing to be transparent, they share info & gives necessary assurance, and surprising they are accomodating. I admire their maturity & aptitude in striking a partnership to meet a common bottomline. 

As a result, I have that confident in presenting the opportunity to my candidates. We were able to go to & fro with suggestions & ways to work better. It was a brilliant working partnership. Ultimately, they met their hiring objectives effectively, I had a great time placing people for them. It was such a such a joy & satisfaction.

How I wish all my clients are such. Fooyoh…:)

Phew…..what a relieve. A few more tweaks, it will be perfect. All thanks to the brilliant girl who got it done below 2.5 hrs, I think. You know who you are and I got to say you are certainly just superb. Thank you !!
