Wrong Number, Right Mindset

I have a story to share with all of you that perfectly illustrates how to 'think outside the box' when it comes to inviting guests to chapters. Congratulations go to Daniel Barker with ACS Title and also a member of the Towne Centre Chapter for this success story.

Daniel was attempting to text someone and inadvertently sent a text to the wrong number. After a few minutes both parties realized it was a wrong number. Instead of simply apologizing and exiting the conversation, Daniel invited the person as a guest to the Towne Centre Chapter.

Shawn Cromartie was the guest invited and owns MSC Contruction & Design. After visiting 3 times, Shawn submitted his application and was voted in as the newest member. Shawn has already engaged at least 3 members of the chapter to use their services in his business.

Had Daniel not been 'thinking on his feet', that opportunity would have been lost. He was definitely 'thinking outside the box' on this one! This should serve as a great reminder that we all need to be aware of the opportunity in every conversation and interaction we have with others!
