Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna’s Post

What’s that R thing? Great way to start a conversation. “Always travel in style. And if business travel, always show where you’re from”. Old advice seems to always work! Looking forward to meet up my Radial Europe colleagues William Ross and Matteo Petruzzellis to sharpen our great looks at the Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna And to meet a whole lot of great people of course. But foremost to get new concealer tips 😉 #Cosmoprof #RadialEurope #ecommerce #directoconsumer

On October 15, Lima, Peru will host the First International Retail Congress, sponsored by Pacífico Business School. 🏫 This forum will allow me to share, together with 3 giants of the world of retail and Ibero-American marketing, LAUREANO TURIENZO ESTEBAN 🇪🇸, Andy Stalman 🇦🇷 and Cesar Val 🇦🇪, the enormous opportunity that our industry has in returning to the most basic of our nature and for which we have existed for centuries: the human experience of exchanging. How do we balance the challenge that corporations have in delivering results for our clients while at the same time being the solid and responsible company that our employees demand of us? How do we achieve efficiencies by investing technologically in both and thus accelerate growth and loyalty to our businesses? I'll wait for you in Peru, because there couldn't be a better setting than this, the cradle of the Inca civilization, and which should be of enormous inspiration for the whole world, as Manuel Góngora Prado eloquently narrates: "Few people on earth have achieved the considerable moral advancement that the men of ancient Peru achieved. Inca morality was simple and practical to the point of achieving a line of conduct for the people, it was aimed at a truly superior hierarchy of values that were "It was based on truth, honesty, love of nature, human beings and work." https://lnkd.in/gnGemH6T #EX #CX #HX #EmployeeExperience #CustomerExperience #HumanExperience HumanX Insights

I truly believe that what unites people is a shared purpose. Attending my first LATAM Sales Convention in Panama last week truly brought that belief to life again. This annual event gathers all five Merz Aesthetics Latam markets—Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, DPB LATAM, and Mexico—under one roof. What unites such a diverse group, with distinct backgrounds, different languages, and countless cities of origin, is a shared purpose: helping people look better, feel better, and live better. This is incredibly powerful. Our purpose drives everyone at Merz Aesthetics, and our sales team is at the forefront of this mission. This is why we are so committed to providing them with the best resources to offer our clients the most confident service. During the five days of the event, our sales force underwent intensive training and sharing of best practices – all with a clear purpose: to be the best in serving our customers. I’d like to highlight the lecture given by Cafu, one of the most successful soccer players of all time and the captain of Brazil’s team when they won their fifth World Cup championship in 2002. Cafu shared his story of resilience, emphasizing the importance of being motivated by the right reasons and how passion fuels the best results. I felt especially inspired because he shares some of the same values as Merz Aesthetics: commitment, integrity, and leadership. I am confident that our diverse and united team is fully equipped to inspire confidence across Latin America. Let’s go above and beyond! #MerzAesthetics #MerzAestheticsLATAM #ConfidenceToBe #SalesConvention #Purpose
