Someone told me this week that I was like Richard Branson and Frank Kern!
Him: Dude, you're like Richard Branson
Me: Oh really? Cool. I can live with that.
Him: Yeah. Or Frank Kern even.
Me: Oh yeah? Branson and Kern. Wow...thanks, dude!
Him: Yeah, yeah... your hair looks just like them. Except yours is black.
Me: Oh.......
Him: I guess you're like the Indian version of them! haha
Me: Yeah......... thanks.........
What's the marketing lesson here? There's none really. I just thought it was interesting...annoying...and hilarious. In that order.
Well, okay here's a lesson...
When someone (say a customer) shares something with you (a want, need, interest, etc.,) be sure to find out exactly what s/he means before assuming its what you'd like it to mean. lol

- Someone called me Peter once...
Actually they were talkin to the person behind me at the bar..
But the same applies.. I should have checked first who he really thought was Peter...
