"Go out there and get people to come in - think of yourself as an ambassador for the brand." The instructions given to me by my new employer (D' coffee shop) were simple enough - Go out and spread the word!
"They just opened up the most magnetic place I have ever been in and if you go in there I guarantee the experience will be memorable ." The neighborhood in SW Las Vegas I call home is an interesting place, filled with interesting people. At the time I was standing, in what I would discover later, is a modeling agency. The girl I was giving my pitch to bore a striking resemblance to a real life Betty Boop.
"Well I'm from Chicago and I use to go into some of the greatest Persian restaurants there were. Since I have been in Las Vegas I haven't been in any. I love Persian food." After her statement I add, "Why don't you give us a try. I mean I can't even begin to tell you how exquisite the place is." She smiles a radiant smile, and says - "You know what? I will give it a shot, you are very convincing."
After she refers to me as convincing I almost, but don't, ask her out - "I have business to attend to," I tell myself as I give her a smile and a wink. I then say to her in parting - "When you go there tell them the village idiot sent you."
