I ve spoken the Fransisco several times before I stopped in today. I wanted to come in and share an event I had coming up that I thought would be helpful for his business. When I walked into his office today, I saw him and he saw me. I waived and said hello without a response from him. His secretary asked how she could help me. I said, I was hoping to quickly speak with Fransisco. Fransisco, all the mean time, is standing there and listening to the conversation. She turns around and asks him if he has time and he said just a minute. She asked me to take a seat while I waited. 10 minutes passes and she tells me, he messaged me that he s about to jump on a call in a minute, can you come back at another time?
I have no problem with people being busy. I meet with hundreds of business owners a month. I get it. I m not a priority nor do I expect to be. What I don t appreciate is the blatant disrespect that Fransisco showed me today by not acknowledging me at all and having me wait ten minutes. Instead, he ignored me completely as if I was a random stranger he never met and then decided to have me wait 10 minutes without ever (probably) intending on talking with me.
I asked the secretary why he couldn t have told me that ten minutes ago and then he came out of his office and said I can tell you now. What do you want from me? I said, a simple greeting and acknowledging of my presence. Apparently he had a few minutes to talk to me after all?
