Maggie K. Fox has Spunk!
Maggie turned me down flat! And I've just got to share this GREAT! story!
We briefly met at the AWESOME pre-Mesh 2007 event in mid November.
Thereafter we began an email exchange wherein Maggie asked if I might be willing to provide a little mentorship. Now this was an important question because I had to make decision to commit time and energy as when I make a commitment I go 1000% because that's what works for me. In any case I said "yes" and that's what ended up inspiring me (totally unexpectedly I might add).
Lot of emails back and forth, lots of questions and answers and I became really motivated because the harder I pushed Maggie the more she would do and... Always very high quality stuff on her part.
I began researching social media and social interaction in order to provide benefit to Maggie, and in the process, my excitment grew and grew. I also prepared an information package relating to Maggie's efforts with respect to developing her company, Social Media Group. And, along the way realized that I wanted to take an active role in helping Maggie to acquire clients and revenues, no small consideration on my part.
During our luncheon (Maggie invited), we had a fabulous conversation, I turned over the information package, and I opened a door to the possibility of my helping Maggie grow her firm.
The following week, Maggie turned me down flat and... For one of the greatest and most valid reasons in the entire world. In her words, "I want to do it first myself!"
Of course this ancient (and admittedly very cool) guy was a tad miffed (after all I am one of the very best in the world at what I do), and at the same time, I was loving Maggie's spunk and she inspired me even more!
Now before continuing this story I want to make clear in the spirit of full disclosure and complete transparency that I do not work for Maggie or her company, I do not receive anything in the way of compensation (other than that one magnificent luncheon), and we will not be working together in the future. 'nuf said and here goes...
You ought to hire Maggie and her company to help you with respect to social media and social interaction. Why... easy... Maggie inspired me and she will inspire you. She has AWESOME ideas for those in the fast moving retail sector. So Nike, Holt Renfrew and you other cream of the crop players ought to hire Maggie fast. She will tell you the unvarnished truth. She will be a great coach and mentor to you and your team with respect to social media. She will laugh when you win and she will shed tears with you when things are tough. Maggie will help you create a dialogue with your customers that you never dreamed possible and... your customers will begin an entirely new kind of relationship with your company and your products. You will discover that Maggie really care about you and about your customers and she will give you way more than you could ever expect.
Maggie K. Fox inspires people to even greater greatness!
Oh Joy!
