I hosted a chat on Saturday.
The plan was to give away
a prize every hour.
The prize was a gift certificate
from an eBook store.
I had never worked with this store before.
The site owner recommended it.
I expected instant receipt
as usually happens with other eBook stores.
Nope.
My new account was put on hold.
I had to contact customer service.
The chat was long done
by the time I received my gift certificates.
The entire blame rests on my shoulders.
I assumed
but worst of all,
I didn’t TEST before I went live.
I deserved the embarrassment.
Always test your spiel
before you expose prospects to it.
Learn from my mistake.
