Business in Delhi
Our last business trip to Delhi, India was an excellent one. Our Delhi best hotels was one of the nicest we have stayed in during all our trips to India. The staff greeted us as if we were old friends. Were genuinely concerned that we like or room and were comfortable. There concern was almost annoying as every time passing through the lobby we were asked a barrage of questions regarding our stay and how we were enjoying. Their graciousness was so genuine I could not just walk past and ignore them, instead each time engaging in conversation. The staff offered a lot of suggestions on where to eat, what to do in the limited free time we had and where were good places to relax. All in all I have to say we were very happy with our hotel. That and the fact out meetings were a success we had a very good trip.
At first it didn’t look as if business would go well. We were looking to place a larger order of stone beads and jewelry than we had ever done previously. Wanting to place the order for everything from the same factory we were hoping for a discount on the prices we had received previously. At the beginning the negotiations were not going well and it looked as if we were not going to be successful in getting the discount we had hoped to negotiate. After drawing a hard line and threatening to take our business else where we gained some movement in the negotiations. Happily we did get a discount, not nearly as large as we has hoped however it was a discount and we were pleased.
Once all that was done we had two days to hang out and explore. Delhi is a crowded city and not easy to get around in with the beggers, animals, carts, cars and trucks all packing into the streets. At the advice of out gracious hosts at the hotel we were directed to a near by temple. Spending several hours there exploring the grounds and gardens and getting an understanding of the history it was time to head back to the hotel and call it a day.
