HOW I GOT A CLIENT ON A FLIGHT FROM LAGOS! ✈️
Two years ago, I created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for a client in Lagos, with a coconut shell as the centerpiece. But guys, let me tell you how I got that job!
Bring ya chairs and popcorn 😂
You know, I get this motion sickness, when ever I travel, Whether I'm travelling by plane, bus, or boat, my body can embarrass me😂 I start feeling nauseous, sweating, and sometimes I feel like I'm going to vomit.
So, on this particular day, I was returning from Lagos to Akwa Ibom, and this man happened to be on the same flight.
Now, you know me, I love talking about my business. So before the flight took off, I was already showing him pictures of my work and telling him what I do.
Fast-forward to when the plane was moving, this man noticed that I was holding the seat so tightly, breathing heavily because I was feeling sick already. He held my hands and kept telling me, “Calm down, Breathe in, breathe out.”
Honestly, I was just trying to survive that flight, couldn’t wait to come down😭
But guess what? In the middle of everything, we got talking, and he told me his friend's birthday was coming up and he wanted to surprise her with something special, something unique, customised with her business name.
And I said, Why not? I'm available ooo
Guys, at that moment, I didn't even have the full idea of what I wanted to create, I had to go back home, think it through, sketch my ideas, get my canvas, take my measurements, prepare the wood, and bring everything together.
And the result? A beautiful, limited-edition masterpiece with a coconut shell as the centerpiece!
The man loved it, and the woman who received it as a gift absolutely loved it too. ❤️
And the most beautiful thing? It's a one-of-one piece. You won't find another one exactly like it anywhere. Never 👎
Now, this is why I'm sharing this story.
Sometimes, your next customer is sitting right beside you. Your next opportunity might come from a conversation you almost didn't have.
If I had kept quiet about my business on that flight, who knows if I would have gotten that job?
So, please, wherever you find yourself, talk about what you do. Show people your work. Tell them about your business. You don't know who might become your customer, refer you to someone, or open a door for you.
Don't hide the gift God has given you, Let people know what you do
Because sometimes, one simple conversation can change something for your business. ❤️
