Linda and Robin, over the The Nice Blog, have posted a really cool story they found in the New York Times that illustrates the power of nice, beautifully. Here’s just a brief bit…
After each show on his thirty–city tour, comedian Jim Gaffigan looks out into the packed theater and offers to meet every single person who would like to. He then stands in the lobby, sometimes very late into the night (he pays ushers overtime out of his own pocket), and shakes hands, signs CDs, and poses for pictures.
This story underscores how simple it can be to distinguish oneself from the ordinary. There are lots of nice voices in the world, lots of talented people. The goal is not just to book a voiceover job, it’s to make a lasting impression. After all, clients who are delighted with the experience of working with us, are much more likely to work with us again.
