Going door to door trying to help individuals with their Medicare is not an easy way to put food on the table. It can be difficult to put yourself out there and be rejected by someone, especially when you believe what you’re doing can help. Fortunately, after I read these two stories, I felt much better about my adventures, and I even got a good laugh. Feeling Blue (Dave and Scott) It was scorching hot one day, so we decided to grab some slushies at the convenience store around the corner from our appointment. We each got blueberry-flavored ones, and we quickly gulped them down before setting out to make our first impression. As we pulled up to the location, we looked at each other and
immediately panicked. Our mouths had taken on a blue tint, and we couldn’t get rid of the color no matter what we tried. We met our potential client, and three minutes later, we were shown the door with them laughing. Beware of Dog (Bert and Casey) We were waiting outside a customer’s house one morning to finalize a contract, when all of a sudden, his dog came up to us from around the house. Usually, we wouldn’t think much of it, but the dog had a duck in its mouth. The duck was barely alive, and we had to do something about it. The customer pulled into the driveway to the sight of us carrying a dead duck off his porch. Needless to say, we lost the sale.
You won’t experience either of these situations from me, but hopefully, you will get a little bit of fun and enjoyment out of these stories.
