As you are leaving...

3 replies
As a marketing approach, I sometimes like to post a message on my forum, my blog, my site, this site, twitter, facebook, etc. That way when I get back I have people to respond to, traffic and sales.

Do you have an "as you are leaving" approach?

(heading down for coffee and dry cleaning now)

    My approach is to just get up and go.

    Might be a good idea to make yourself sound more important though.

      Yes, coffee and dry cleaning are maybe not the marks of a VIP. But it is actually funny how "normal" VIPs are once you meet them.

      The former head coach of the 49ers lives in our building, and started up a conversation:
      him: how was your day
      my wife: good and you
      him: pretty good... well, actually I lost my job today
      my wife: Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are moving on to bigger and better things. What did you do?
      him: I was a trainer for the 49ers
      my wife: well, hopefully there is something bigger and better still?
      him: I certainly hope so. Have a nice day.
      (unfortunately, I missed this conversation, but had seen him, and once we started looking at pictures, we're like... wow, that's him!)

      And then we have a running back. Saw him coming back from Safeway with Epsom salt for his injury.

      Ran into a kicker getting a tan at Planet Beach. Hall of Famer for sure, but had no idea who he was until he told me. He lives right next to us. We see him all the time. He dented his car up pretty bad on one of poles near the gate to the building, and we shared that with him, as we hit our bumper.

      VIPs do pretty normal stuff like ride elevators, get a tan and shop at the grocery store.

      It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    This is a good idea - I may start doing one post/entry/etc before I leave - the only thing I currently do as I am leaving is check Google Analytics..
