Marketing!

A new book store opened today in Borders place.  I had fun browsing.  Bought some of my favorite magazines and some new books.  I was finally done and went to the counter to pay.  I was practicing my marketing speech all the while.  When the associate was done I started my pitch.  I had her full attention. Then all of a sudden I saw the look and I stopped and said, "I must tell this to the manager, right?"  Of course she said yes and went and paged the manager.  In the mean time we continued to discuss the book.  She was really interested.  I gave her a business card and told her where to get the book.  She wanted it as soon as possible.  The manager arrived and I started my pitch all over.  He was interested in what I had to say.  Of course he said I have to go through corporate.  I said my thank yous and left the store with the phone number in hand.  That goes on tomorrow's to do list.  In the mean time I will continue to practice my speech.  Good afternoon, my name is......
