Kiss Your Customer - Why Business Is Just Like Dating
In her 1983 commencement speech at Vassar College, Meryl Streep expressed her genuine surprise when she figured out “Real life is just like high school, there’s generally one acceptable way to be, and it’s dictated by the exigencies of dating.”
Andy Masters found these ideas to be so true and on point that he wrote a book about it.
His new book, Kiss Your Customer: 77 Reasons Why Sales & Service Are Just Like Dating & Relationships, takes a fresh and creative look at the eerie similarities between business success and relationship success. Andy explores not just the irony--but what we can learn from relationships to apply to business, and what we can learn from business to apply to relationships. He uses fun and entertaining examples from each along the way.
So, how are business and romance similar?
“It’s about the process: Find ‘em, and then keep ‘em happy!” masters says. “There is a great irony between the sales process and romantic courtship. There is also a great irony between keeping your customer happy, and keeping your significant other happy.”
He explains that the keys to success include being creative, recognizing that failing to risk is risking to fail, and most important, learning to face rejection.
“What’s amazing is, we really can learn things from relationships which we can apply to business, and things from business which we can apply to relationships.”
“Success in business and in life is about building relationships. And the keys to building those relationships really are the same. People can be successful if they relax, think a little and take the time to laugh along the way!”
Andy Masters wil be on with me tonight so tune in and let us know if you have any creative ways that you "Kiss Your Customers" 303/631-2101
Hospital regulationsrequire a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as astudent nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted hedidn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'
When did you KNOW your honey was THE ONE for you???? Tell me your love story tonight at 303/631-2101. Let's celebrate Valentines Day together.
I knew Michael was THE ONE the 1st night we actually met!! Yet, I told him I needed to see him in all seasons (go a year) before making a permanent decision. Michael lived in Los Angeles, so we'd "have coffee together" and chat on the phone most mornings for a month or so. One Thursday night he called me before work and I asked him "When are you coming to Denver to see me"? Michael arrived at 2:30p the next day! I brought him to work with me and at the last minute handed him a headset asking him to go on the air with me...and he did!!! The show topic was "He Said/She Said" and KOSI listeners called in asking our take on all kinds of issues. After the first couple of calls I knew Michael was unlike anyone I'd ever met and the rest of the night solidified it for me. Exactly 1 year later I moved from Denver to be with him in LA and the following year we got married at a friends Christmas Party.
I had a hard time sleeping last night after reading some of the comments posted on yahoo about Kyle Dyer being bit by a dog "live" yesterday on 9 News. HUMANS attacked Kyle in some cases more than the dog!
It seems to be "okay" to post judgement filled rants where & whenever we want and to spread-our-spew with full entitlement. We ARE Americans after all- free to express ourselves...yet do we REALLY need to rage out to make a point? Do we really feel better afterward? If raging- out worked, wouldn't we be a whole lot happier than we are? Just asking....
Sending you love Kyle.

For Christmas, my mother-in-law always sends us the Omaha Steaks “goodie box”..the one with stuffed baked potatoes and chocolate cake included. So last year for Valentines night , my hubby cooked us a romantic dinner..cause he CAN..his mama raised the boy right. The only thing I had to do was light the candles and pour the wine.
I’ve never been a big lingerie or “teddy” kind of girl. When I’m in “hard body” shape, I think I look like a drag queen in the stuff and when I’m sporting a few extra pounds, I feel ridiculous. So, last year I decided to USE the FACINATIONS gift card I got for Christmas-and buy something naughty to wear on Valentines night in spite of this "stinkin thinkin". Here’s what I learned…suspending judgment on what appears in the mirror is liberating and fun…and when a man really loves a woman, he appreciates effort more than perfection. What about you? What’s been your experience with body image??
Call me with your story this Monday night and win one of five $50.00 gift card to FACINATIONS! 303/631-2101
