Coffee or Lunch?

July 1, 2008

David Cohen wrote a post titled, “Coffee or Lunch” that resonated with me.  I get calls, emails, IMs on a daily basis from people who want to meet.  If you are an entrepreneur in Dallas I want to meet you, but asking me to join you for coffee or lunch doesn’t usually work for me.

First, I don’t drink coffee (literally never had a cup in my entire life).  Second, lunch might be the perfect venue for our meeting and sometimes I will suggest it, but in general it doesn’t work for me.  Usually I go to lunch with CEOs from our companies to talk about what is going on and what we need to do.  This is REALLY valuable time for us and if we bring you along we won’t be able to get anything done.

The best way to meet is for you to come by our office.  We have a Starbucks and a cafeteria downstairs so you can pick up your or lunch if you must and hang out with us.  The best thing is to touch base with me a week before and we can pencil in a date and then give me a call an hour or so before you come to make sure nothing crazy has come up.  Lets keep it casual.  You can always just drop by, but don’t be offended if I can’t meet (assuming you didn’t schedule it before hand).  Our new space is almost finished so there should be plenty of ‘hang-out’ space.
