I went to the chiropractor today because my back/neck has been killing me recently. I've been saying since the very begining about always keeping a handful of biz cards on you and here is another example of why.
I met the two admin ladies where I had to sign-in and fill out the patient intake forms. One thing I've learned is that people respond and are more receptive to what you have to say if you're not only charismatic but polite. I made an effort to put a smile on their face with friendly conversation which ended me discussing our record label. All the friendly conversation payed off because when I gave them by biz card their reactions were positive followed by a response of "That's whats up, I love music and listen to it all the time. I've got some playing right now."
It was the perfect response from two people I've never met and tried to sell them an idea about something they've never heard of or really cared about prior to me walking in the door.
When the Doc was done cracking my back and neck what do you think was the first thing I mentioned to him? "Thanks for the help, let me give you my business card. My partner and I recently started a record label and released our first album on iTunes last month. You should check it out."
His response, "Cool I definately will."
Who knows if he will take the time to check the website out or even listen to or buy our music. However is friend, brother, sister, father, girlfriend, boyfriend, or even his neighbor might. Opportunity knocks every where you go. You just have to answer the door and step up to the plate.
Be inspired... I am everyday. I want to succeed and you should to! (Dr. Phil?)
