For its 2019th edition, Partners in Excellence featured a new session, one of its kind in the whole industry. What is it? Deal or No Deal. In accordance to Z-Empire’s vision: From the industry for the industry and Marketing Equals to Sales, Deal or No Deal session is a fun, unique and efficient way to do business and to get more exposure in the industry. It was broadcasted live on Z-Empire official Youtube channel and hosted by Agne Caune and Jonathan Afrman. Rules are simple: 5 rounds, 3 offers and 6 participants in each round. Only the sponsors have the opportunity to offer their stocks. Stocks that should be physical and moved to a neutral logistic company who makes the inspection prior to the pay- ment, in case the deal is closed. Prices are non-negotiable. The 6 participants have one buzzer each and 1 minute to decide, once the offer is announced and shown on the screen. Now it’s all on them whether to take it or not, by following the principle of first comes first served. In the case where none of the participants bought the stock, the offer is transferred to the audience through a WhatsApp group chat where they can contact the admin in order to proceed with the offer, following the same rule of first comes first served. This almost ensures the stock offered will be bought and business will be done one way or another!

The session was as entertaining as it was engaging and exciting. Deals were diverse and included different types of products and brands from different markets (High end phones, CPOs, Low end phones, Tablets…). It was full of suspense and surprises, as some deals were closed immediately as the timer begun and others at the last second. This created a vivacious competitive atmosphere and drew attention of the audience who kept increasing throughout the whole session. This first edition Deal or No Deal session was a success, fulfilling the vision of Z-Empire. All the sponsors who took part of Deal or No Deal session, closed at least one deal either as a buyer or a seller,and sometimes as both. Therefore, the value and potential of such an innovative concept is undeniable. It is putting together in an efficient and beneficial way, the best of the 2 worlds: entertainment and business. It is obvious that the Deal or no Deal session will make a comeback in the next Partners In Excellence 2020 event, with improvements, based on the idea of the event: Bigger, better, stronger and more successful.
