Noise, juggling – and showing up

Yesterday I was at the supermarket checkout, behind someone who was on her cellphone.

An important conversation, I guess, because she was so engrossed in it that it took her five minutes to check out with her credit card – so many mistakes, so many miscommunications.

She was trying to multitask – but failing.

And when I had to jump out of the way of another person who was striding down the street, phone to ear, I got to thinking…

… with everyone so busy communicating, data-receiving, talk-juggling – it’s no wonder they don’t hear what you have to say.

It’s no wonder your tiny ad or one-time postcard is ignored.

There’s just too much noise.

So what’s the solution?

One way is to be different – to stand out.

To make them take notice.

The other way is through repetition – through always being there.

Because if you are always there, then at some point you will be noticed.

And as you are the only one there – you’ll be the one that gets the business.

So…

Show up. Be noticed.

And show up again.

Here’s where to get your own newsletter so that you can keep in front of them.
