Hi Online-Marketing,
Yesterday I returned to California after almost
a week in Park City, Utah for an incredible
conference. After enjoying gorgeous weather for
this entire week, it all changed just an hour
before my flight took off.
I like to talk to strangers, and it turned out
that quite of few of the passengers were en route
to Kona, Hawaii. They would change planes in Los
Angeles and arrive on the “big island” of Hawaii
just in time for a late supper at the beach.
That all changed as were delayed more and more with
this shift in the weather. By the time our flight
was airborne the pilot announced that the gate in
L.A. would be unable to hold their plane and that
they’d have to wait until the following day to fly
over from the mainland of California to Hawaii.
No one ever wants to hear this kind of news.
I pride myself with being a problem solver, and went
over some scenarios in my mind.
What if…
…we made up lost time in the air? (We did)
…the people at each of the gates could expedite
the process? (They could)
…everyone on my flight cooperated and allowed
the 32 Hawaii bound passengers to disembark first?
(They could make an announcement when we landed)
The first two of these scenarios did indeed occur.
The third did not, and when that little “ding, ding”
sounded 199 passengers got up in unison to get off
the plane. My heart sank.
Now if you’re in first class, or in the ten rows
behind first class then you’re in pretty good shape.
If you’re in row 38, then not so much.
I waited for the pilot or a flight attendant to make
an announcement. Nothing. And that’s when I climbed
atop my seat in 12C and took over the plane.
This was a Boeing 737 – 800 series and one of my
favorites when I fly. I know a few things about them
and one is that the acoustics are such that sound
travels well (too well at times) from the front to
the rear. My voice carries (too well at times) and
I can be heard if need be.
So from my vantage point and with my most powerful
and authoritative speaking voice, I stood up straight
and tall, made eye contact, and pleaded my case.
I asked them to allow the people who needed to make
their connecting flight to gather their things and
make their way down the aisle, and for the rest of
them to please sit back down. In less than five and
a half minutes all thirty-eight of them (and not one
more) were headed down the ramp, into the terminal,
and on towards their departure gate.
By this time we were all cheering them on, wishing
them fun times in Hawaii, and finding the greatest
joy in working together as a team.
And as the rest of us gathered our belongings and
exited right behind them the pilot announced that
they were boarding the plane and none would miss
their flight to Kona, Hawaii. And then the whispers
began and soon he added “and thanks to my assistant
in 12C for stepping up.” I teared up a little (okay,
a lot).
Why am I sharing this story with you today?
Because how you do anything is how you do everything.
Twelve years ago, before I came online as a brand new
entrepreneur I would not have had the courage to do
anything like this. These days, I seek out and attract
as many opportunities like this one as I can.
On Tuesday I join my esteemed colleagues, Sue Painter
and Ellen Finkelstein, for our inaugural Entrepreneur’s
MasterClass. My contribution to our training course is
on how you can build connections with something I call
“relationship marketing” and create a lucrative business
with even the tiniest list.
