Chance of a lifetime
So I just missed the "chance of a lifetime", Or so the lady on the phone wanted me to believe.
About a week ago I got a card in the mail that I had been chosen to possibly appear in Manchester's Who's Who. I'm all about people wanting to talk about thing I have done so I filled out the card and sent it in.
A lovely lady named Michelle called today to verify some things and ask some additional questions to see if I was right for inclusion. After answering her questions she said "Let me be the first to welcome you to the Manchester's Who's Who. Then she went on to list all of the things I would receive. This included a hardcover copy of the book, a personalized certificate, and access to their website for additional networking. THEN, the clincher - it costs money. Not a little but but $489 for 5 years of membership.
I asked if the bill would come with my packet or if I had to pay today. She said since everything is personalized they do ask for a credit card by phone. I told her I couldn't pay today and said listed the reason people join and then said "Don't you know WHO WE ARE?" I must not have cause I hung up on her!!!
If that's not a great start to the morning I don't know what is.

What is this who's who? It's a book? I have no clue :-)
Yeah some book of business people. They list the company you work for, and your job title and then you can network with other people.
If nothing else, you now have the chance to say "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" to everyone who even mildly annoys you! I think that alone is worth passing up on the Manchester's Who's Who.
