The Business of Dating

July 22, 2009 By Danny 3 Comments

Dating is a tricky business. Building up the courage to ask someone out; the nerves of the first date; the choices that you make deciding whether you’ll have a second date or not; and keeping conversation flowing being just some of the hazards.

Then you have to worry about the success of the second date. And the third. And so on. Then (if you’re lucky) it becomes a relationship and you can begin making long-term plans together.

Are you treating your customers like a date? Are you keeping the conversation flowing and making the right choices to keep them interested in you? How are you building the long-term relationships with them?

Dating is a tricky business. How successful are you in the dating game?

Danny Brown, I like you a little more each day. :) Despite your insistence to the contrary, you ARE a very cool human being. And I'm not just saying that because you validate me (although it doesn't hurt ... hahaha).*******BTW, since I don't seem to be allowed to comment on my own blog for some reason, here's my response to your comment:I've never been married/divorced, actually; my comparisons came strictly from what I've known of others' experiences. However, I have to agree with you on your point about the money. Severance (or lack there of) and alimony (or lack thereof) do seem to have something in common ...

It could mean that you're someone any customer would enjoy dealing with as you're around for both the bad times as well as the good times? :)

Very interesting comparison, Danny! (In fact, it sort of reminds me of my blog post regarding the apparent similarities between looking for a job after a layoff and dating after a divorce: http://bit.ly/m0lnl).>Responding to your post at a very literal level: I'm not great at dating (and I don't enjoy it as much as most people do) ... but I'm quite good at -- and I enjoy -- relationships. I wonder what THAT means on a symbolic level? hmm.
