\u201cEven monkeys fall from trees.” (Saru mo ki kara ochiru)<\/p>\n
\u2013 Japanese Proverb<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was visiting prospects in Japan with representatives from one of our Japanese distributor organizations. We had worked together numerous times over the years and had developed a strong relationship.<\/p>\n
One day, after completing a presentation about a new technology and our latest offerings at a prospect\u2019s site, I asked my Japanese colleague, \u201cHow did I do?\u201d<\/p>\n
He responded, \u201cAh! Cohan-san, everything was perfectly clear until after you said, \u2018Good morning\u2026!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
