"Jethro, I thought I told you to lose my number. What's a matter with you boy? Are you stupid? Why are you calling me? You've got to be the biggest asshole I've ever met! Fuck off!" Last time I chatted with my friend Roxy, it didn't go so well. It had been a few weeks, and I figured everything had pretty much blown over, so I decided to call her again. Judging by her response, she was still carrying a little hostility towards me.."Hello to you too." I figured I would just let her yell at me for a minute or two and then apologize for whatever it is that made her mad at me.."Why do I bother answering the phone when you call? What the fuck do you want, and make it quick. I'm busy!" I then heard some one yell 'Hi Jethro' over her phone.
"Roxy where are you at?" I could hear all sorts of commotion in the background.."Not that it's any of your business, but I'm at Delmar with Carmen." Delmar is a horse racing track located in San Diego, lots of money flows through that place, in turn you will find all sorts of high end women hanging around. Carmen is a friend of Roxy's. She's another high end call girl (read post VI of Las Vegas and his almost Penthouse Forum moment)..Anyways, when she told me she was at Delmar, I knew right away she was working, or looking for work. "Are you with a client? I can talk to you some other time if your busy." One thing I've learned in my dealings with Roxy? Never get in the way of her business.."Jethro, if I was with a client? I wouldn't have answered my phone. Use your head boy! Now, you have one minute to tell me what it is you want!" Getting women like Roxy to pay attention to you without a fistful of money is a very daunting task. So when she told me I had one minute to get the point across. I went straight into my elevator pitch..
"Roxy, I've told you a number of times how I think you and some of your friends would make phenomenal Guerrilla Marketers! Well, I had a buddy of mine come into town last week. He's a very accomplished web developer. Anyways, the two of us started talking about how to promote a website. I told him about you and how I thought you would make an excellent Guerrilla Marketer. He had a friend with him, and they were both very intrigued about the idea. Anyways, when you get back to town. Let's meet up and I will give more details." There was a brief silence over the phone, and I began to wonder if she had hung up on me..Fortunately, that was not the case.."Jethro, if bullshit were money? You would be a billionaire by now! Now listen up! If and when you can get your shit together, and when I say getting your shit together? That means money more than anything. I'm willing to listen! Lose my number until then!" Roxy has a habit of hanging up on me without saying goodbye, and today was no exception. All things aside, I can put up with her lack of phone etiquette if she is willing to listen to some of my ideas.
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."Getting a girl like Roxy or her friend Carmen to sign up for a Guerrilla Marketing effort in Las Vegas might be a little tricky at first because of price constraints. Not to worry! The great thing about Las Vegas? Attractive people are a dime dozen and eventually we would be able to find a group that fits our price points."
