I was invited to join
a boxed set
yesterday.
Stories are due
November 15th
but the organizer told me,
because I’m a ‘big name’,
I can submit my story December 1st.
I’m not a big name.
I’m solidly midlist.
But being called a big name
made me smile.
It caused me
to seriously consider
the opportunity.
And it didn’t cost
the organizer
a dime.
There is a possible
15 day delay
in putting the boxed set
together
and that is it.
Treating your customer
like a star
is often free.
Why aren’t you doing it?
