Out & About
With the Amazing William, Master of the Mystic Arts,
Magician Extraordinaire!
****************************************
As you know, last month I was in Seattle, USA
attending a special conference. I happened to visit the
famous Pike Place Market, and in the markets was
this quaint little shop run by The Amazing William J.
Darkow, Magician & Entertainer.
There were crowds on people in his little shop, and I
was wondering why the people were there. I had to
literally elbow myself in, and to my wonderment, here
was William doing magic tricks and holding his
audience, young and old alike, completely spellbound!
There was much laughter and mirth after each trick
that William showed.
Ahhh...in life, we often take things so seriously don't
we? In search of the almighty dollar and for the
proverbial jug of happiness, we dash around madly
trying to fulfill what we think we must have.
On that day in Seattle, while on holidays, I watched
The Amazing William draw uproaring laughter from
his audience and everybody had a good time. In fact,
once he finished, many of the audience simply had to
buy the tricks he was showing!
What a way to do business. I watched him perform his
magic to create business via entertainment. Which
brings me to the question I want to ask you... how
often do you bring joy and laughter to your customers?
Are you so intent on just getting on with it and
forgetting that sometimes a bit of serious humour
works wonders?
I know for a fact that people love fun. Now if you're
friendly as well and know what you're doing very well,
then you've got it, haven't you? Most people would just
love to do business with you.
So why not try a little of the Amazing William act
yourself? Give your customers the magic of wonderful
service. Give your customers the best that you can
give them. Go all out to please them.
And I bet you that they'll reward you plenty with their
smiles of gratitude and their money in exchange for
your goods or services.
Go on. Include a little magical service. Put the extra
appeal into what you do. Try it with a dash of humour,
a cheekful of smiles, a pull of mirth. You'll have them
all lining up to do business with you!
And if you do go visit The Amazing William, tell him
that Ricky sent you!
