Just desserts

And in the dream the boss of the vehicle repair shop joined as a distributor...

Well that's what would happen isn't it? What a great story that would be...

So I went to see him and it turned out he had been to a networking breakfast sometime in the past and had heard about the company. I was half way through showing him how the money worked when I realised he was going to sign up. Some days everything just falls into place.

All kinds of strange things were happening. I turned out that that my witness for the hit and run was his old school friend and also he knew the local rep for the insurance company so he could start work on the repair straight away.

On the strength of all this I decided to try a radical tactic. I rang up an accountant I'd met once and said I needed a favour. Why he should do me a favour is not something I went into. Instead I just said: "The company has asked me to find ten people who don't know much about the club and show them our new presentation. Then I need to ask them what they think. Could I try it out on you?"

And he said yes. So I have an appointment for next week.

All of which was fine - except I still had a stack of cards to give out. So I decided to do some uneccessry shopping: Beer and bottled water - that sort of thing. In the middle of it a woman came up to me waving the card I'd given her: "What's this all about?" she wanted to know.

So I told her and she said she'd just moved house and needed exactly what I had to offer. So all I have to do now is phone and tell her husband.

One way and another the day went rather well.

... which is no more than I deserved, I reckon..
