Where in the world am I today?: Home! North Vancouver, BC, Canada
I make a point of sending a thank you note to my clients after each of my contracts and when ever possible I send along a fun picture taken as part of the contract like the one to the left that was taken in Aruba while I was contracted to perform aboard the Coral Princess.
Getting a photo like this is easier during longer contracts like fairs, trade shows or cruise ships when there’s a bit more time involved and often it’s easy to capture some of the behind the scenes fun that this contract has allowed me to participate in.
Remembering that a client almost always has a choice when it comes to who they hire and that keeping a client happy starts well before you step on stage and ends long after you’ve stepped off stage will serve you very well and help build stronger business relationships as a result.
Juggling and performing have allowed me to travel around the world and I derive a great deal of joy from being able to make people smile for a living. Beyond doing the best job I can when I step on stage, I always make the effort to say a sincere thank-you to the people responsible for hiring me and giving me such wonderful opportunities.
Remembering to stay thank-you is a small investment of time and energy and leaves a lasting impression that may well result in more opportunities for both work and travel in the future.
