This week one of my networking partners reminded me of how important it is to listen. I was talking with Chad Brogan, American Cellular. As a fellow BNI member I had asked him to meet to help me understand all the details of purchasing an i-Pad. So we spent a couple minutes on that, then he began to tell me about this apparatus that allows people to have just one landline phone number even if they live in two (or more) very separate locations.That was when I did the dirty deed!
I stoppe
d listening and also said, "I don't have a land line anymore." In my mind I didn't need or want to listen because it didn't affect me.The old WIFM!
Chad very nicely pointed out that he was talking about it so that perhaps I could send him referrals based on this technology even though I couldn't use it. .....Oh yeah!
Thanks, Chad for the wake up call.
