How To Meet Celebrities: Part 2

Here's another story from Jeffrey Gitomer's "The Little Black Book of Connections":

"I was boarding a plane (to who knows where) one day, taking my usual seat of 2C, and noticed that in 2A sat Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly.

'Hi, I'm a big fan,' I said. 'You probably don't remember me, but I attended your talk at a sales convention for a cellular phone company, and you autographed a football for me.' He smiled.

I continued, 'You probably don't remember that I was also a keynote presenter at the same convention. My subject of expertise is sales and customer service. So I've autographed my boarding pass for you.' Handing it to him, I said, 'I wouldn't mind you autographing yours and giving it to me.'

e smiled, autographed his boarding pass, and handed both back to me."

Gitomer is just too cool! His books are the best....content rich, fun, in your face and to the point. You put the book down and know exactly what you need to do to succeed. The question is, will you do it?
