Creative Business with Lloyd Luna (May 3, 2013)

Last Friday, May 3, 2013,Mr. Lloyd Luna interviewed another successful business man on his show Creative Business with Lloyd Luna to inspire people in pursuing their dreams in the field of business.

Mr. Paulo Marquez, the CEO and owner of Posh Events Management, told his story behind his success. He graduated high school in Adamson University and took up BS Psychology in Colegio de San Juan de Letran. Mr. Marquez was on his 2^nd year college when he decided to not finish his studies and enter the call center industry instead. He also became a club DJ and had the chance to work in a radio station.

When he was asked what was his turning point in the field of events management, Mr. Marquez said, “Nakita ko lang una ‘to sa pamangkin ko. Mukang simple. Less stress unlike call center kaya sinubukan ko na.” He also said that he was just really curious about business.

Mr. Marquez was still working in a BPO (business process outsourcing) company when he started pursuing his career in events management. He also admitted that he had a hard time doing both jobs at the same time. It even came to a point when he took his leave in the office every time he had an appointment with a client. And most of the time, he meet his clients in places near his work place so he didn’t need to be away from his office.

When Mr. Lloyd Luna asked him how his first event was, he said that he was very hands on. He also confessed that he was very perfectionist and that all he wanted was to satisfy his first client. When he saw the happiness of the parents and the debutant after the event, that was when he realized that this field was really for him.

Mr. Paulo Marquez stated, “1^st impression last. Kapag maganda yung umpisa, chain reaction na yan”. He also gave an advance when it comes to clients, “When it comes to handling clients, just try to please them.”

It is true that apart from hard work and determination, one of the key to success is to really get along and have a good relationship with your client. Through this, it is not only their loyalty that you will get, you will also have them as a friend whom you can get along inside or outside your business.

And to all the people out there who has plans in pursuing business or new in this industry, let me give you this quotation from the successful CEO and owner of Posh Events Management, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie, what matters is how you will handle it.”
