Thanks Liz! I've had it on my bookshelf for awhile and a friend/author/upcoming guest told me she reads it just a few pages every night before bed, so I started to implement that since the sections are so short. Then I dive into my fiction read!

That's so funny, my copy is on the bottom of my nightstand. I'm going to copy you :)

Thanks for sharing the pitches and why they didn't work. I would have stopped reading as soon as I hit the phrase "actionable insights."

I'm not sure if these agencies are using AI or what but the pitches just aren't good at all. It feels like they also don't know their clients and are using the spray and pray method which also equals copy and paste!

The flight attendant one could be SO much better. I was in corporate aviation for 18 years so that would have been the easiest personalization ever and then throw in the stories because every FA I know has some good stories, especially the corporate ones!

And I'm still scratching my head at why the pitch for the former flight attendant didn't start off with some wacky stories about airplane etiquette no-nos she's seen.
