Someone slap me if I get to the point where I don't care when a new customer pays attention to me.
I was recently blown away by the work of an artist. This guy makes remarkable seem stale. So I sent him an email to see if he was interested in my business.
A representative responded:
"Thank
you
for
your
email.
Unfortunately
Peter
is
too
busy
to
answer
his emails but
I
am
sure
that
he
will
appreciate
your
response
to
his
work."
Survey says? XXX I don't think he'd appreciate my response anymore. And oddly enough, his art is losing its appeal.
We frame the first dollar and befriend our first customers. I wonder at what point people become distractions. My hunch is that for many, they were never the priority to begin with!
