How bad do you really want it?
That is a question I always ask myself. And it is a BAD in capital letters.
The images speak more words then I can type at the moment, it is Friday evening 11pm. A client is just about to send payment internationally to confirm a cabin on a yacht in Monaco (22:33). 2 minutes later I get confirmation that a Baglietto 100 is available for a charter in Mykonos (22:35) and I send it of to the client. At 22:39 I get an enquiry from a business provider for a charter for 70 people in Dubai so I start working that as every minute counts in this game. At 22:57 I get an update on the payment for the cabin Monaco and they want to get confirmation on bank details, love it, doing paperwork at 11 at night. And on top of that at 23:15 I sent of an email after doing a slight redraft of a contract for a yacht in Croatia.
But you see, the deals are moving. And that is important. Yet, almost no one will ever see this as this is the side of a being yacht broker that absolutely no one talks about. Working in multiple timezones (Dubai/Greece/Monaco/UK/USA just this evening), the intricacies of international payments, payment links not working, understanding contracts and making sure they protect your client, Yet this is what sets the good ones apart from the rest ;)
It's 23:30 now and I feel like it is going to be a long night still! Let's see...
