So, I say YES to a newParty GrasHoliday! I just hope you don't have to be Catholic to get the day off work.
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
Mrs Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
I hope you all had a great Valentine's day..I know think it's a Hallmark holiday ifyou know what I mean. Maybe it is for some, but not my neighbor!!. I think he might be in big trouble with his wife...you tell me. First of all he gives her the same card that he has for the last 15 years. He takes out of drawer she puts it in every year...signs and dates it again and gives it to her!! She thinks that is pretty funny...I guess. This year he did that and then gave her ...are you ready...a snowblower!!!...not kidding. I can't tell if he is in trouble...or if not he might the smartest guy I know!
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.
