I am so Excited that I had a Car Accident! (Funny)
My previous office
had a weekly meeting on Wednesdays 11:00 to 1:00 PM with lunch
served. As part of the meeting, everybody needed to stand up and say
something good and positive for that day or the week. For example,
somebody stands up and says I am so excited because I have a closing
tomorrow, I am so happy I have a listing appointment this afternoon,
I am so blessed because my wife is due by the end of this week and I
cannot wait, etc.
Almost, close to the
end the row, John stood up and in a response to everybody’s
chanting, John tell us what is good about today, he smiled and
happily said I had a car accident coming to the meeting! Everybody
got quiet and one by one told him; I am sorry to hear that, are you
OK? Was there any injury from you or other party? He said, we are
both are OK and no injury for me or the other party, but our cars
damaged a lot. Then, somebody asked whose fault was it? He said that
was mine, I hit his car from behind!
Then, everybody
looked at each other and asked John, why are you are so happy now?
He replied, you know, as part of the accident procedure, we
exchanged our information and phone numbers and now he is my new
prospect and his information are in my database! Ha!Ha!
Lesson to learn from
John: think positive, that phone number may cause a lead with a
closing.
That could work
better than many paid advertisements, marketing or techniques for
lead generation.
