Something interesting happened to me today, and keep in mind it was Saturday (now early Sunday morning) as I write this.
I repair dental handpieces (drills), and a lady from a tattoo shop called asking if I knew how to fix dental chairs. I told her I didn't know about them, but while on the phone, I thought maybe I could get the make and model, and see if I could download some documentation. I also thought of someone I knew that did repair these, and gave her the guy's phone number. I told her, if she didn't contact him, to call me back and I would see if I could figure out a way to help her.
Before the conversation was over, she told me I was a 'Godsend', and seemed so happy even though I didn't give her any assistance aside from providing contact information for someone who also does the same repairs I do (handpieces), but has more knowledge and the experience to fix the items specific to her request. I told her to call me back if she didn't get in contact with this guy, and I was going to see if I could get the information on the chair in order to figure out how to fix it.
She never called me back, so I assume she was able to contact the guy who routinely works on this type of equipment. Long story short, I didn't actually help this lady, but I have a good feeling knowing she found someone who could help her, especially on the weekend. I told her to contact me regardless if she did or did not find help, but never heard back from her. Anyway, I feel good about myself for giving it my best shot. Yeah, I got a slowlane business, but even as hard headed as I am, I'm starting to figure things out.
I've read enough posts on this forum in the short time I've been here to see the light bulb going on in my head to figure out what this stuff is really supposed to be all about!
I'm a newbie, so I'll shut up with this, and no further rambling, but just thought I'd pass this along.
(Hope this is the right forum topic, but hell, I'm just a damn newbie!)
