The motorbike courrier that is due to call in 30 mins
Why won’t he give me a business card while he picks up a CD for my client?
Afterall - I didn’t call him, my client did. This means he is meeting me for the first time and i am a potential future client.
Logically, if this courrier travels across Dublin several times a day (assuming thats possible with Dublin traffic) then roughly 50% of his the people he is picking up or dropping off to are potential clients.
The french cafe in the village where I often eat lunch
Why don’t they ask me for my email address when I pay at the till?
If I were to get an email around 11am with a reminder of their excellent lunch dishes and maybe an offer of a free coffee every now and again I would happily trapse down for a bite more often.
If they serve lunch to approx X amount of office workers per day then thats a whole lot of emails and repeat business they could have.
