Law / Trying to do business with Polish businessmen... but it's not easy. [41]

I have had similiar problems to all of the above, indeed to make matters worse in each case it was I who wanted to spend money with the people involved. No replies from estate agents with a view to buying a flat or if I had replies with the amount involved then I said when would be a good time to come over for a visit and no response.

That has been my experiences also, contacted 15 people. Couple responded and then never heard from again. Your best bet is to find a Polish friend or pay someone for your business dealings. I kind of found both in one person and I'm real happy. He understands capitalism... Well good luck with business (s)

As a hint I may tell you that typical polish business person would like to know first who is his partner not what are the principles of particular business.

So, you are suggesting that I say to future Polish businessmen. My name is Brian and I am looking for a partner for the particular business. I hope we can work together so we equally benefit in this venture. Is this something you'd be interested in? Something along those lines...

Thanks,
Brian

OK, but the problem with some Polish "businessmen" is that they don't even take time to write a simple note, like "Thank you for your inquiry. Please allow us up to two weeks for reply." They just don't care (or - which is more likely - don't know the basic rules of doing business in general).

Yes, all I ask people to do is say, I'm interested or I'm not. But typically no one replies. Or if they do and start a conversation via email, it usually ends when I hear nothing... Thanks everyone for your replies, so I'm not the only one :).

Hello,
I have been trying to do business with various Polish businessmen. I'll email them and they'll respond. We go back and forth about various aspects of business. Then silence, it's like they dropped off the face of the earth. This has happened with four different businessmen. Perhaps, it takes them a long time to respond. It just seems very strange to me and yes, I have been very polite.

Language / The same word, but different spellings and meanings... [6]

Hello,
I'm trying to learn the Polish language and what I find difficult is that the same word has different spellings and meanings. For example the word able in English has one spelling. But in polish it could be spelled many different ways. Am I missing something and is there an easier way? Thanks everyone

POLISH ENGLISH
zdołać able
zdolny do able
zdolny able
