Am I In Business Or What?

Just moments after that last post, I had the most amazing phone call.

A lady with an East European accent called to say she is a freelance translator and would like to discuss the possibility of collaborating!

I have a hunch she got my number from the latest eguide listing (www.eguide.com.sg), which shows advertising does pay off.

While my sleep-fogged mind tried to process what she was saying, another idea struck me. I tried it out, and it worked like a charm. Basically, I told my caller about BNI and what it could do for her, and she agreed to come for our next breakfast meeting!

Now how is that for a mousy introvert who never believed she could sell anything to anyone?
