</a>Just to give you a quick impression. People who live in Lagos know Sunday was a very dark day… lots of rain. It does not make the picture look at its best. But thing is banner is there, people see it…. the place inside is perfect for the show….<a href="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1175.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1232" title="The Lagoon Restaurant Lagos Nigeria" src="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1175.jpg?w=150&amp;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>

We also have one on the parking, where a lot of people visit <a href="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1478.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1233" title="IMG_1478" src="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1478.jpg?w=300&amp;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The Lagoon restaurant or Fusion… or like to day Sterling bank has its annual meeting.

Today I am off again to the American School, sometimes you just <a href="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1480.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1234" title="At Fusion, Lagos Nigeria" src="https://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_1480.jpg?w=150&amp;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>have to explain what Rob and Emiel is about…. then they get it and come…. In fact then people are really surprised that we got this show to Lagos. And it is quite unique we have it…. a once in a life is maybe a bit to much…. but gets close.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/r_e-hang.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1218" title="r_e-hang" src="http://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/r_e-hang.jpg?w=640&amp;h=430" alt="" width="640" height="430" /></a>When this post is on.. it only will be 12 days before I go to the airport and pick up Rob and Emiel. I can tell you right know, we (sounds better ;-, and is true) are working day and night to get all things done before the show. I am lucky Maurice helps me out. It was quit a disappointment when last week I got an email that the stage-sounds and light person was not able to to his job. But you have to move on, so immediately after my meeting that day with the Social Media speaker for the Interactive Workshop, we went to a other company who can help with this. Tough thing is that I have to start all over again on negotiating… and that takes time… and that tik-tok-tik-toks away.

Tickets are at the office, sales started… always exited. Also left a big pile at The Lagoon, the place where the show will take place. Send out press kitts to all mayor papers in Lagos. Maybe they will pick it up, maybe not. We will see. With hootsuite I planned all social media for last week. I checked the numbers, and it works, people read and click….

And just now, I got mail that the banners will be ready… so we will put them at The Lagoon restaurant tomorrow… I will take pictures ….

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMG_1450_2.jpeg" rel="lightbox[882]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-885" title="IMG_1450_2" src="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMG_1450_2-300x244.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a>Two to go and the show will here in Lagos. Rob and Emiel, very busy in The Netherlands right know, have their show on May 25th and 26th. We are making a big spectacle out of it, to attract many people in all expat communities here. From the lebanese to australians, and Dutch to Italian. We also have a a good connection with Nigerian in Lagos&#8230; It is a who for all. This time I worked with Franssen and Van Iersel for the design of all material. It is very recognizable and all elements you see are consistently used. That is something over here people find very difficult to believe, that consistency in design will also contribute to awareness.</p>
<p>One of the hardest things here in my work is teach and convince people that a you can not switch logo&#8217;s, designs, adverts every day. I must say that if they once see how it can be done&#8230; they are convinced&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/telephone_lady_ad_opt.jpg" rel="lightbox[872]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-874" title="telephone_lady_ad_opt" src="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/telephone_lady_ad_opt.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="187" /></a>Waar moet ik beginnen? In maart werd ik afgesloten van mijn TV. Er waren in de straat nieuwe aansluitingen nodig in verband met aanleg van nieuwe appartementen. Geen probleem zou je denken. Wel als een monteur een kast aantreft waarin hij ziet dat er twee kabels los hangen. Die van mij en mijn buurvrouw. Ondertussen in na uren bellen, zelf opzoek gaan naar monteurs etc de aansluiting van mijn buurvrouw hersteld, maar de van mij nog niet want die meneer had geen opdracht van Ziggo.</p>
<p>Niet getreurd, dan bellen we toch even. Helaas op PC en huisnummer zijn we als klant niet te vinden, en dan besta je ook niet. We hebben een klant nummer nodig. Is een beetje moeilijk als je in de auto zit. Geval wil dat ik daarna naar het buitenland moet. Maar ook niet getreurd, er is mail en een mooie contactpagina. Dus om antwoord op mijn vraag te krijgen of zij de aansluiting weer kunnen herstellen maak ik gebruik van het contact formulier. Keurig komt er een snel antwoord na 1 dag.</p>
<p>We zijn geen klant, er is opgezegd in november 2011. Niets over de losliggende kabel in de kast. Dan begint het verhaal echt pas vorm te krijgen. Want ik wil graag antwoord op de vraag wie dan heeft opgezegd? Want als klant moet je een brief sturen of bellen en beiden heb ik niet gedaan. Ze kunnen mij daar via mail geen antwoord opgeven. Geen idee waarom, maar ik moet bellen. Ook geen probleem, ware het niet dat ze gebruik maken van een 0900 dat je vanuit het buitenland niet kan bellen. Ik vraag om een gewoon telefoon nummer, ze vinden het vervelend maar dat is er niet. U moet het 0900 bellen. Ik dacht ik probeer via twitter&#8230; ze zijn snel en behulpzaam, maar verder dan &#8221; iemand gaat u mailen&#8221; en &#8220;het antwoord kan ik niet via mail geven&#8221; &#8221; Uw klantnummer hoort niet bij u&#8221; U bent sinds 2008 geen klant meer&#8221; komen we niet. Keurig en vriendelijk komen de reacties van Ziggo binnen, een antwoord heb ik nog niet. Ik moet bellen want het is te gecompliceerd voor ze om het even op de mail te zetten. Simpele vragen als:</p>
<p>1. Wie heeft wanneer mijn abonnement op gezegd? Is daar een bewijs van.</p>
<p>2. Ik keek tot 15 2012 maart wel TV? Hoe kan dat.</p>
<p>Nee, ik moet bellen. Maar zoals gezegd dat gaat vanuit het buitenland niet. En om nu iemand anders met dit &#8221; gecompliceerde&#8221; verhaal op te zadelen&#8230;. Jammer dat ondanks alle kanalen/media die er zijn Ziggo toch alleen een antwoord via 0900 telefoonnummer kan geven. Moet het wachten tot ik terug ben van mijn werk&#8230;. En dan weten ze waarschijnlijk niet meer waar dit over gaat. U voelt het al aan,  er zit een vervolg in deze column.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am very proud to show you the poster that was specially made for the show. We use it also to spread digital. But of course we will use these also for offline purposes. In Nigeria still both is needed, like I think all over the world. The first tickets are already sold, even though (as I write this column) tickets are in the plane from The Netherlands.

This will be held on May 26th. This Interactive workshop will be about work and balance. We all face “Operational Blindness”, simply because we are caught in our day to day routine. We tend to work hard and then even harder to get things done. But to actual step out of our daily operations and look to these from a different perspective is a major challenge.</p>
<p>Doing this though is critical to enable yourself to develop alternative points of view, methods to approach a similar problem all with the need to achieve one&#8217;s targets. The questions to be asked and answered:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which alternative solutions are available to improve your business?</li>
<li>What you see might not be what you get?</li>
<li>What is true, what is perception?</li>
<li>What you don’t see (yet), might be highly relevant</li>
</ul>
<p>Last week the first e-mailing was send and we have 55 subscribers. <a href="http://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/emiel-lezing.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1184" title="emiel-lezing" src="http://lagostown.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/emiel-lezing.jpg?w=300&h=220" alt="" width="300" height="220" /></a>Of course that has to move up. So this week another e mailing was send, and today we will call all companies and contacts. A lot of conversations, but looking forward to it. Also social media is used to get the right attention for this Interactive Workshop. In Nigeria Facebook is most important and fastest growing, next to twitter. So both are part of the campaign.</p>
<p>Next week all press kist will be send out to various newspapers in Lagos. I think that you need off line and online media to reach the objective. We will keep you posted on this website about the progress. And for reservations&#8230;&#8230; mail,tweet,FB,sms,comment&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_1345.jpg" rel="lightbox[836]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-838" title="Austin 2" src="http://www.marketthings.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_1345-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Afgelopen weken heb ik veel mogen reizen. Tijdens mijn bezoek aan Amerika ben ik me toch blijven verbazen. Er wordt vaak gezegd dat ze zo gericht zijn op service. Wat is service dan eigenlijk? Dat je een klant helpt met zijn probleem/vraag op te lossen? Of is dat zorgen dat een klant zich thuis voelt in je winkel of restaurant? Of zorgen dat je op alles wat een klant te vragen heeft bent voorbereidt of op zijn minst weet hoe je iets kan oplossen.</p>
<p>Ik moet zeggen dat de afgelopen dagen ik even qua service beleving niet verder kwam als dat natuurlijk iedereen keurig goedendag zegt als je binnen komt. &#8221; How are you&#8221; &#8216;s waren er voldoende. Om vervolgens meteen door te stoten naar &#8221; What are looking for&#8221; of &#8220;Where are you from&#8221;. De eerste vraag  relevant voor je winkel beleving kon prima beantwoord worden als je opzoek was naar een standaard product of service. Bijzonder te ervaren dat zodra je afwijkt de medewerkers ook meteen niet meer weten wat ze moeten doen. Dat was niet in een maar in 8 van de 10 gelegenheden waar ik ben geweest. Service in de zin van zorgen dat een klant zich welkom voelt is prima, maar service in de zin van daadwerkelijk van dienst zijn daar is nog genoeg werk aan de winkel.</p>
<p>Pakkend voorbeeld van goede start maar dan. Aangekomen bij een nieuw restaurant met goede pers worden we prima te woord gestaan door een dame. We willen graag buiten zitten. Er is nu geen plaats maar met 15 minuten wel, ze kan ons bellen. Prima. We gaan aan tafel, heerlijk in de zon. Een ober komt aangesneld met kaart en uitleg en zijn naam&#8230; en natuurlijk als er iets is altijd even laten weten want daar ben ik voor. We krijgen onze lunch (heerlijke salade), waar we graag een stukje brood bij willen.   We roepen onze ober, geen enkel probleem. Ware het niet dat we het twee keer hebben moeten vragen, en daarna toch maar zelf binnen zijn gaan halen..voordat de salade al genuttigd was. Service is toch inzicht en gevoel voor de klant en zijn wensen en op welk moment hij die graag vervuld wil zien.</p>

Rob and Emiel are coming to Lagos to do their amazing show. Last time with Plankgas was a bit smaller, but now I have a very nice an hugh ballroom where they will perform. The Lagoon in Lagos is renovating as we speak. This place can have more then 500 guests per evening, so there is al lot of work for me to get people in Lagos enthusiastic for these shows. I set up a model for sponsoring, Bronze, Silver and of course Gold. Not an easy process, but we are now up to four sponsors. That is not to bad.

All offline promo material is ready. Tickets are off to the printer tomorrow, poster will be finished this week.  I had contact with LagosExplorer, a magazine for the Islands of Lagos. Here you can read what to do, what to see the coming months. This show must be one of those things.

Ofcourse I will be using all social media. Facebook is the most important one in Nigeria. A few weeks ago I already started on the events page to talk about the preparations for these shows. People start to talk about is, but I know from previous shows people will not act until the last moment. My social media plan will help to get the buzz around in Lagos together with seeing and talking to people should to the trick…. I will keep you all posted.

Any questions or reservations for  this show, just let me know
