He chose to cultivate a new market in Africa rather than focus on Latin America, which was already doing brisk business in electrolytic copper cathodes.<\/p><p>In entering the unknown, and as a person in charge of building business partnerships, he realized the importance of developing \u201clong-term personal trust.\u201d This is especially true considering the difference between foreign and Korean trading companies.<\/p><p>\u201cWith most foreign trading companies, hands-on employees seldom change,\u201d he explains. \u201cAs the staff of Korean companies rotate frequently, I would often be asked about this.

But trailblazing a new market was just the start.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a105f84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a105f84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Turning potential into reality<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c73e1da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c73e1da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The idea of realizing the potential of an opportunity is also meaningful to Joo. He considers the difference between doing business with a clear direction and finding success in the unknown.<\/p><p>\u201cI think there is a significant distinction there,\u201d Joo reflects. \u201cOne means executing an established plan, while the other is potentially more challenging but also more rewarding \u2013 it means realizing the potential of a situation even when there is no clear way forward.\u201d<\/p><p>An illustration of this adventurous mindset is the way he approached a particular Chinese company in 2018. Joo sent them an email with the aim of creating a new partnership, though without any expectations because it was a big company. Out of this initial contact, he ended up being invited to the company\u2019s headquarters. While he felt somewhat embarrassed to be thrust into the position of making a presentation in front of the CEO, executives, and other staff, Joo seized the moment and earned an annual contract \u2013 all from one email.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-066331d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"066331d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Flexibility to overcome whatever conditions there be<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56310df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56310df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When you travel the world, visiting new countries and exploring untapped markets, challenges will inevitably arise. Joo has had to learn to be flexible and adjust to his surroundings as he spends about 130 days a year abroad, including frequent business trips to Africa.<\/p><p>He has been able to overcome the pressure of all this traveling by changing his mindset, spending more time trying to understand the culture of the place he is visiting.<\/p><p>Even so, cultural differences can affect expectations. Joo is used to the Korean way of keeping a set time according to a predetermined schedule. But doing business in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has also taught him the necessity of flexibility when making appointments. For example, when he was stuck on an expressway between Lubumbashi and Likasi, he was forced to simply \u201ckeep waiting.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t do anything else,\u201d Joo recalls. \u201cI barely arrived at my meeting on time, but surprisingly my partner was totally understanding as he knew what the traffic could be like \u2013 he had simply expected me to be late and any tension I felt disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14f86c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"14f86c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Making friends while getting business done<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9721c92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9721c92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For most business professionals, people skills are the most important qualification.
