Today was a great day. I have been putting in the hours calling and emailing companies for the last few months and today I got a call. I was finally able to get a sit down with a a "big up"(C.E.O./Co Founder). Initially was actually looking to sit down with him to get information about leasing of one of their industrial machines (top of the line technology). Upon first sight I thought the meeting would be very cut and dry with little more info learned than in sales catalog.
I couldn't have been more wrong. We had a really good rapport and he really seemed to be drooling over my knowledge and enthusiasm for this field.
Before I left he told me that I reminded him of himself when he first started his business. He said he was very impressed with the amount research I'd done in a field I didn't work in professionally.. yet. I couldn't believe this, I literally had no intention to go in and ask for anything more then a little inside knowledge about financing requirements. He offered me a sales rep position, offered to introduce me to several connects that he believes will help me and my business objective, offered to invest personally and candidly told me his company has a $8k monthly need that my company would solve.
This feels awesome.. Validation of a need plus a bonus. I'm ecstatic right now.
Sorry If I'm babbling, I had to tell someone!
