The Elevator Talk
and Prison Stuff
As they stepped into our elevator the three couples
already were definitely in a party mood. The giggles burst in peals of laughter. Too much fun!
They were younger than we are for sure.
On the way down the 31 floor hotel one man
with the group caught my eye and asked, “How are you folks tonight?”
I smiled and said, “Great!”
He responded, “So are you with the Boat Show
too?” with a big grin on his face. And
his giggling friends all looked at us.
“Nope. I am here about Prisons and guys in
prison.” expecting a comeback of some kind.
You know – on an elevator with happy people
that are in the party mood, you can completely change the atmosphere by a
statement like that. Wow!
From giggles to sober in a heartbeat the ‘salesman’
didn’t know what to say.
In business we are trained to do an ‘elevator
talk’. You are supposed to be able to
tell other parties sharing the elevator with you, what you do, and then promote
your business before you reach the ground floor. And then as you exit the
elevator you present your business card and invite them to call you.
He was starting his ‘elevator talk’. My answer
left him sputtering a little. The door
opened and they all giggled at him. The
gals with him, perhaps the bathing suit beauties around his boats, knew his ‘elevator
talk’ routine. Now this was really
funny.
Tell someone on an elevator that you are
either from Prison, or going into Prison or know people that live there… they
DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY! Too darn funny!
My wife and I are staying in a beautiful
hotel in Ottawa to frame this story properly.
I am attending a national committee meeting where I sit as the vice-chair
for Canada. The committee is dealing
with all the issues inside of prison and outside of prison. We will report on
what is happening in each of our Provinces across Canada. Mine is Ontario.
This morning I thought of the poor guy that
kind of choked in the middle of his elevator talk.
I am also thinking of what will happen in the
next two days. My wife will be shopping and having fun as I sit and listen with
a numb bum.
But the elevator talk was priceless – and the
dude will be thinking about me today. Too funny.
