Effective Follow Up

It’s another normal uneventful (boring) professional workday when az told me that a ‘gift’ was waiting for me at the reception. Filled with suspense, and wondering why she couldn’t just pick it up for me, I went downstairs to be greeted by a box of godiva chocolates with the bearer of the gift trading it over for a filled questionnaire.

The questions and my answers went somewhat like this :

Q : What do you remember of the event of 9 September 2005?
A : Chicago performance, jazz performance by Mia Palencia and that other (fat) lady, pictures – lots of pictures [I wanted to include the delicious BKT supper, but that didn't go well with the 'sheer elegance' feel of the event ]
*they should have guessed, it’s not easy to remember events of 9 September 2005 considering the state of mind we were in*

Q : What was good about the event?
A : Free drinks! Champagne! Beautiful setting, great entertainment and excellent location

Q : What were you dissatisfied with?
A : Magic Sticks too expensive!!!! And the service was slow, extremely slow.

Next came the inevitable questions on Magic Sticks. “please mark one (being most negative) to seven (being most positive)” when considering Magic Sticks of D, M, S and 7s. The concepts were like -

“which is most international?”
“which is most appealing?”
“which is most modern”
“which is most sophisticated”
As expected, Magic Sticks D had many sevens.

I am impressed by the marketing and advertising genius displayed.
