Harald Vogt

Harald H. Vogt introduces Europeans to the American way of business. “Let’s have lunch!” – when American managers get caught in a dead-end street during negotiations, they use this delicate, yet empty phrase to say goodbye to their guests. In order to ensure that negotiations don’t end with polite meaningless phrases instead of solid results, company representatives must practice their lines and performance before their US premiere. Harald H. Vogt, a Rhineland-native in New York, builds a bridge across the pond and introduces European managers to America’s typical practices in business relations and communications. Beginning with facts on one of the world’s largest markets and covering American values and manners to more heated topics such as liability or discrimination – seminars by Vogt Communications Management Ltd present the "American way of life and business" in a practical way that focuses on case studies and even specific regions or industrial fields, if requested. The dress rehearsal for a successful performance on a slippery stage.

The coach, Harald H. Vogt, born 1959, had already emphasised foreign languages when preparing for his university entrance exams. After vocational training in printing and another three years of working experience in the same field, he worked for two years as a trainee in his father’s graphic business. In 1984, he founded IDEE Marketing Services and began studying at the Academy of Marketing, Cologne. After working for five years as Head of Production at the INEX marketing agency, he founded the Dahlhoff & Vogt Agency in 1989, which was then transformed in 1992 into an international, specialised agency for purchasing, production, and marketing services under the name Vogt Communications Management. Since 1994, Vogt operates two additional businesses in New York.
