Window Tinting Tampa and Orlando Out Take
Now I knew it would be a great day for window tinting when the Sun burst into view. I was charged up by the VISTA dealer meeting in Cancun and loaded with new ideas and suggestions on how to grow my business.
I set out to catch up on the leads and estimates that were sitting on my desk gathering dust.
My very first call was to a beautiful home that faces the Gulf of Mexico. The prospect was from New York City (a big plus for me!)
New Yorker's are a different breed. We talk fast and think fast and having a sarcastic sense of humor is a MUST. Believe me; after dealing with folks from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa the previous 33 years, I can attest to the difference in the culture and particularly the humor factor!! Man can I tell some stories!!
I make the case for my VISTA Window Film. It comes down to the customer's preference concerning how much light he wants to block. He tells me that his "wife will do whatever he says. .he's the boss!" I chuckle since I have heard that line once or twice before and it's never true.
He signs the order and off I go, invigorated, happy in the knowledge that I have saved another Tampa Bay resident from the Sun (my enemy- -kind'a like a Vampire?)
Get back to the office and get a call from the new customer's wife. "Hey, did you meet with my husband?" Yes, I responded waiting for her to alter how dark the window would become.
"Well, my husband has memory loss issues and he knows that he met with you, but he doesn't recall what you both discussed; can you come back and start from the beginning?"
Now I know why some people call Tampa, St. Pete and Orlando. ."God's Waiting Room."
PS- You know that this window tinting industry (dare I call it that?) is slowly becoming main stream when a character in a TV show is a window film guy or gal. Well I hear that a serial killer in one of the endless CSI type shows is a Window Tinter by day and maniac at night in an upcoming episode! Finally. .some recognition!!! We've finally made it!!
