Anyone for tennis?

22/6/08

A great 60 seconds will keep bringing you referrals for years!

I was at a chapter this week and we were about half way through the 60 second presentations when this guy stood up, pushed a head band over his wavy hair, picked up a tennis racket and cried “You cannot be serious!”

He then handed another racket to an accomplice, produced a tennis ball and together they played a rally (in fact several) down the centre of the tables.

He is a music teacher (piano, saxophone and clarinet) and band member who was promoting one of his gigs which was taking place the following week.

Why the tennis? Well, his gig is next week and the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis championships start next week. Being a tennis fan (he has tickets to semi-final day), and believing that you could not be serious if you were thinking of missing his band perform, well, John McEnroe just popped into his head!

It was the most memorable 60 seconds of the day: I have already re- told it to a number of people and I am writing about it here.

Like all good stories that get told time and time again, I will talk about this 60 seconds many times over the coming years and each time it will be a referral opportunity.

So, get creative and keep those referrals coming in!

Joseph Marshall and his Band, Ramajaz, are playing at the George IV, Chiswick, on Wednesday 2nd July from 8.00pm. Email: josephjmarshall@hotmail.com
