Ive had an idea for a couple of weeks and then the following story happened, which brought it all together. Ive already got another story ready, and honestly I believe every week offers me another opportunity to remember why I love what I do. So here goes...
JUST SAYIN' WITH JEREMIAH
Recently, while attending a community event and enjoying supper, a customer came up to me and asked a question that caught my attention.
"First, do you talk shop when you're outside the store?"
My response was simple. "Of course! I love talking shop anytime!"
He then proceeded to ask me a question about his pool cue.
Now, there are a couple of things about this little interaction that I wanted to share.
First, I genuinely appreciated that he was considerate enough to ask if it was okay to talk business while I was out enjoying my evening.
But second, and probably more importantly, I want our customers to know something.
I LOVE being someone you feel comfortable coming to for advice, questions, or even just to "talk shop"!
To me, that's a compliment. It tells me that somewhere along the way, I've earned a little of your trust. And that means a lot more to me than you might realize.
I grew up on a farm outside a small town. And one of the things I learned growing up was that you help people when you can, where you can. You don't have to be standing behind a counter to do that.
Family Fun Center is a family-owned business, and those small-town values are something we strive to carry into everything we do.
Whether you're buying a $20 accessory, a $5,000 pool table, or just looking for a little advice, you deserve the same appreciation and personal attention.
We're certainly not perfect. But we care, we try, and we're always looking for ways to do a little better.
So, to the gentleman who approached me that evening, thank you. Not just for being considerate, but for reminding me why I love what I do.
Because to me, you're all more than just customers.
Just Sayin',
Jeremiah
Family Fun Center
Bring FUN Home!
