It's 7:12 AM and you're waiting for the bus. The part of the day you hate the most. Why? Because you're not doing anything productive. All you can do is wait. You're a go-getter! You live for the grind. For that next move. But here all you can do is wait. Yeah you still need to catch the bus, but this is a momentary phase. You're a go-getter! Very shortly you will be able to afford a car. You look out at the early morning traffic of this busy inner-city street. "Soon" you think to yourself.
A woman joins you at the bus stop. You're a go-getter, so you're conditioned to look at every person you meet as a business opportunity. You're a man of many hustles, maybe she has a need you can satisfy. Everyone needs something, and the key to learning what someone needs is learning who that person is. Some key observations about this woman...
1. She's probably a student. You're obviously an exception, but most people use this bus stop to get to the local community college. She looks about college age, and her bag is overladen. Probably with binders and notes.
2. She's dressed for someone/something special. If she is a student, she isn't dressed like a student just headed to their weekly lecture. Skirt and knee high boots. Not typical of most students who catch this bus. You've caught this bus countless times, you know how the average community college student dresses.
3. She's unusually alert for it being this early in the morning. Most people at bus stops, no matter what time of day, usually keep still and wait for the bus. But she's dancing like she's got a song in her head. At 7:12 in the morning. What did she do last night? What life does she lead that she can be this wide awake in the morning?
You pull out your wallet and flip through your many business cards and pull out one you just know is right up her alley. What product or service do you have to sell this woman?
