Valentina Thörner da Cruz Ok, interaction. Here we go: I am German working in a French company in Spain. The other day I talked with the Spanish sales person about how it is so important to invite our partners to build up personal relationships. He asked me if this also applied to German people, because they always seem so uninterested in the meetings. We found out: Spanish people first talk family and then talk business. Germans seem to go down to business right away. Anybody with similar or different experiences?
