Jim Knutsen and I met when he first opened the Boatz Knutsen Thought Partnership agency and quickly won a $400,000 piece of business together. The piece shown is a 300 page book with stories from key Target employees and was given at a company retreat.
A few years into our relationship I was asked to re-envision their sales process and this piece became a focal point of new business conversations.
As the meetings progressed a new box would be opened and little symbolic toys were revealed, then left behind as a reminder of the conversation.
Jim always understood the power of place and invested in it. A favorite tool created was a custom arced whiteboard spanning 20 foot wide and 5 foot high. When you stood close, it would envelope you with the day’s work. And this photo is there second space located in the heart of Denver.
