No luxury meeting room, just dessert can close a billion deal! 🤯
No luxury meeting room. Just dessert can close a billion deal! 🤯
Have you ever thought that a billion-dollar business negotiation would have to take place in a luxury boardroom, a tense atmosphere? 🤔 But not for a historic deal like Facebook bought WhatsApp!
This extreme story reveals that Mark Zuckerberg negotiated a WhatsApp deal with Jan Koom in a chilly atmosphere at Mark's own home, with "chocolate-coated strawberries" 🍓🍫 as a great snack that the pair ate together during their talk.
And even more surprisingly, this huge deal was finalized and agreed upon while they were still sitting together eating strawberries! 🤯🍽️
This picture is so contrary to the memory of global business negotiations that are often filled with a lot of tension and rituals, but this deal proves that "relationships and trust" (trust) are sometimes more important than formal forms of negotiation 🤝❤️.
The lesson from this story tells us that billions of deals sometimes require nothing more than delicious desserts and the right timing! 😉✨
