Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity

Types of marketing (old but fun)

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ‘I am very rich. ‘Marry me!’ That’s Direct Marketing

2. You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: ‘He’s very rich. ‘Marry him.’ That’s Advertising

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: ‘Hi, I’m very rich. ‘Marry me ‘. That’s Telemarketing

4. You’re at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car)for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: ‘By the way, I’m rich. Will you ‘Marry Me?’ That’s Public Relations

5. You’re at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: ‘You are very rich! ‘Can you marry ! me?’ That’s Brand Recognition

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ‘I am very rich. Marry me!’ She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. That’s Customer Feedback

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ‘I am very rich. Marry me!’ And she introduces you to her husband. That’s demand and supply gap

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: ‘I’m rich. Will you marry me?’ and she goes with him. That’s competition eating into your market share

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: ‘I’m rich, Marry me!’ your wife arrives. That’s restriction for entering new markets.
