How to sell private jets to billionaires...

This is a very hectic day in the life of a corporate jet broker. I came into the office at 7:30. I was about to get ready for an important meeting I had at 10:00 when I got a call from George Ganopoulos from Lux Aviation.

"You're kidding! Client, we just bought a PR 600 for. Wanted to come a day earlier to see the plane at JEDX Bing Hill Airport. That's an hour's drive away or 6 minutes by helicopter from Battery."

The broker representing that airplane is actually coming into our office in 2 hours. I thrive on adrenaline; it's what keeps me going. In situations like these, it's what keeps the business going too. It’s Deal or No Deal. If you don't show up, you lose; but if you do show up and everything goes to plan, that's the most amazing feeling. It never gets old.

Anyway, back to reality. George manages jets, and when a buyer wants to see a jet, it has to be perfect. We checked the plane to make sure everything was looking good. All the records were perfect, and it was meeting done.

"Back to the office!"

"Yeah, I'm on my way now. Let's keep him happy."

"Okay, I made it."
