April 19, 2007I Can Solve a Rubiks Cube in Under Three Minutes
Scott was a pleasant and helpful rep. After answering my questions he gave me his phone number by saying,
- My number is 555-5555 and I can solve a rubriks cube in under 3 minutes.
In the small talk chapter of PowerPhrases I recommend providing tidbits of personal information to create a connection and toss the other person a conversational ball. Scott did just that with his disclosure. I laughed and we chatted a few minutes afterward. I hung up with my questions answered and with the feeling I had spoken to a person, not a robot. And a smart person, at that.
