You have seen Mr. Donald Trump on TV, right?!  The gentleman that is famous for saying “You're Fired" on the show, “The Apprentice.”  Well earlier this week I sent him an e-mail, requesting his help in being spokesperson for the Red, White & Blue Pages™.  I was nervous clicking on that "Send" button in my e-mail.  Did I give him enough information?  Did I incorporate enough of his personal information so he knows that I did some research before sending the e-mail?  Will it peek his interest?  What if he thinks I am crazy?  What if this e-mail just gets deleted?  Yikes!  Did I mention in any previous posts that I overanalyze every little detail?

Are you wondering why I sent an e-mail to Mr. Donald Trump?  Joanna dared me.  Well she didn't come right out and say I dare you to send an e-mail to Mr. Donald Trump.  It was more like she suggested he would be the appropriate advocate in an e-mail and then put a question mark at the end of her sentence.  I interpreted this as a, what are you going to do about it.

You are probably also thinking okay why ask him to be spokesperson for the Red, White & Blues Pages™?  It makes sense to me, especially after reading some of Mr. Donald Trump's bios.  Did you know that he went to the New York Military Academy?  I also found in my research that he is a supporter of Paralyzed Veterans of America and Wounded Warrior Project.  Of course he is also a well known business man.  I just think about all the people that apply to be on "The Apprentice."

Yes, I think that Mr. Donald Trump's celebrity status will be helpful for the Red, White & Blue Pages™ and MSBA overall, but I also think that he can teach us a lot.  There are plenty of things MSBA needs to learn, that I need to learn.  One of those obvious things is how to advertise a business.  Once armed with this new knowledge we can then pass that on to you our members.

Now I am anxiously awaiting a response.  Joanna reiterated to me; nothing ventured, nothing gained.  One way or the other I will give you an update.
