There was this local telecom provider that used to call me every month, then follow up with an email.
He was persistent.
Why was he calling me? To sell me his internet connectivity.
The thing is, I already had a business-grade line with a great SLA in place. Why switch?
Price? Well, I was still under contract. Even if I could get a deal, I was locked in.
Anyway, fast forward to December and he dropped by the office with a big Xmas cookie tin.
I love chocolate chip cookies.
Such a nice gesture.
But still, I was locked in.
The months passed, and finally I came out of contract with my internet line.
A few weeks later I got a call from this guy. I asked him to give me a quote for a new line.
Why? Well, I was out of contract.
Time to shop around.
With the quote in hand, I switched over to his service.
Why? The law of reciprocity.
The cookies were what did it.
