As I usually do on the morning of a www.TalkWithTissa.com webinar, I rolled out of bed with the sleep still in my eyes and fired up the computer. Because I’m on the West Coast and Tissa schedules many of these conferences at 12:00 Noon EST (that’s 9am PST) I try to squeeze in every last minute of sleep before logging on to catch the opening Monologue.
You see, before Tissa opens the floor to questions his introduction usually contains a well balanced mixture of vital information and light humor that you don’t want to miss. I like to joke that he is sort of the David Letterman of Affiliate Marketers with his articulate speech, sense of humor (Money, Money Money) and precision of details.
So there I am only minutes away from hearing those familiar words from GoToMeeting – ” The Organizer has entered the conference room and you are in listen mode only” when my phone rings. My voice is still about an octave lower than usual as I have not spoken a word since waking up a few minutes ago, but I figure what the heck, maybe it’s a prospect with questions about signing up for the ACME People Search Engine System.
“Hello”?
“Hi is this Mike”?
“Yes…”
“Mike Napoli?”
“Yes”
“Oh Hi, I was getting ready to sign up for this People Search Engine thing and I had some questions…”
Yep, I was right on with my intuition…it was a prospect. That’s cool I thought to myself and then I heard those familiar words. “Hi Folks, Tissa Godavitarne here…”
Now I have this gentleman asking questions in one ear about ACME People Search and Tissa getting ready to talk about the same thing in my other. So it’s time to split my brain in half. I don’t want to miss my favorite part of the webinar but I don’t want to loose this prospect either. Okay I can’t do this so I decide to block out Tissa and go for the prospect. No offense but I have to make a living first 
After about about 50 minutes of stimulating talk ( I love to explain how the People Search System operates) I get an idea. Why didn’t I think of this sooner? (DUH!) I told my new friend to go to www.TalkWithTissa.com since he was sitting at his computer and check out the webinar in progress. Cool I thought, now I can listen to the end of the webinar and let Tissa take over for me. After all, that’s what the conference call is intended to do, explain ACME People Search to prospects and help affiliates with questions.
Now if this isn’t a defining moment in my life I don’t know what is!
Here I am trying to express myself as an authority with my knowledge of the ACME People Search Engine and Tissa the creator of the program is announcing this in the Suport Forum at the same time.
The stage is set, the lights come on and now begins my journey to the Affiliate Summit East with ACME People Search in N.Y.C.
Someone pinch me, am really awake or am I still asleep dreaming!
Mike I’d pinch you if I were there. Tissa couldn’t have made a better choice than choosing you to represent us at the summit. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Hi Mike, I’m glad you are enjoying yourself and working hard for the rest of us. I love your writing style. This blog will be a best seller! LOL
Mike I love your blog, you must have the power to write in natural!!
Hi – really great web site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to publish a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed working with computers and am trying to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
