My mother raised me to believe in the power of asking for what you want.

In today’s proof-positive example, I reached out to the Danforth BIA two nights ago to see whether they might include Close Shave in their messaging. My thought is that it would bring prestige to the BIA as a GoodThing^TM and worse case scenario, it was a visible conversation with a potential new contact. As it turns out, they took the ball and ran with it.

In addition to posting a Twitter shout-out (and they will continue to do so until the event), the event was added to the news page of the Danforth BIA site.

How am I doing? Just Dandy. Thanks for asking.
