There is a bank ad on right now that I get a kick out of. A man asks a girl if she would like a pony; she says yes and gets a toy pony. He then asks the other girl if she would like a pony; she says yes and a real pony comes walking out. The first girl is crushed and says, you didn’t say I could have a real pony! The man answers, you didn’t ask for a real pony. Then they go on to talk about their bank.
While it is funny, I have also seen it happen. If businesses don’t know what to ask for, how to ask for it, and present a case for it, they may not get it. So they settle for what they get.
That is one of the best reasons I can think of to hire a pro to assist in these events! And that is how I have chosen to use my 40 years of experience for; to help businesses at the best value I can.
Hi Rob,
I love this commercial too, you’re right, it’s funny and memorable. I’ve always been something of a do-it-yourselfer, my mantra has always been “I’ll figure it out.” And that has worked, up to a point. But I’ve come to realize how important it is to have people you can turn to for help with the things you’re not as strong at. Once you have those people in your life, you realize how much more you can accomplish with a little help along the way.
