A Great Evening and Unofficial Meet Up in Philly!
I cannot wait to meet another 'Rainer - so whenever I visit any other place for a conference, I make it a point to call a few 'Rainer and plan a meeting.
Success Tour from Buffini & Company in Philadelphia was no exception. I had registered for this event and had mentioned to Hannah Williams about it a while ago. And yes, she remembered it very well.
It was very nice of Hannah to come to the city braving the traffic. I know how difficult it is.
The best compliment I received from her almost instantaneously. She could recognize me immediately - I was no different than my ActiveRain profile picture.
We had decided to meet on 16th September evening at an Indian Restaurant. Being vegetarian, I do not have many choices. And she was perfectly fine with trying something different. She has a few Indian clients and likes Indian food.
I had suggested 'IndeBlue' which surprisingly had good reviews on Yelp! However, as Hannah mentioned in her post, the place was little too loud. So we decided to go to nearby restaurant - Minar Palace.
We really felt nice at Minar Palace. We were greeted by the owner - Narender Singh as we entered the restaurant. We were offered a quiet table which we liked very much.
The best part was, food! I did not have to worry about explaining anything to Hannah as buffet dinner was served with lots of variety. Surprisingly, Hannah loved an eggplant curry (which I thought was spicy - even for me!)
Of course we talked about our families and success in 'Rain and of course the March Madness contest were we were pitted against each other in 4th round. That was fun!
It certainly was a great evening and unofficial meet up in Philly. Thank you Hannah.
Lessons learned from this unofficial meet up -
1. You are always welcome in any city/town by another enthusiastic 'Rainer. You'll be glad you met them.
2. A excellent customer service brings in the client! And referrals, too.
hope we can meet.
