Ok, so I get this postcard in the mail, 1 month after my big promotion to executive management. It stated since I was a successful women, I was nominated to be a part of this "elite" publication - to celebrate my professional success, and personal recognition of achievement.
Wow! How cool is that?
Then, after mailing the post-card, I get a phone call, from "Leeann Kelly" who is obviously reading a script. She congratulated me, briefly interviewed me, and quick got to the pitch— buy our platinum membership— you get all this, or our bronze, which only included..
But I informed her I wasn't spending money today; so she reminded me that I was to 'celebrate' my accomplishments, and enjoy the ability to network with the elite.
What a bunch of whooie, but I continued to listen.
Then, she offered me some deal reserved for NPO's, and bragged on what I would get. When she got to the price I finally interrupted and said "I am not spending any money" BUT she kept going (reading) as if I didn't even speak!
So finally, figuring this was going nowhere, I just hung up.
Don't get sucked in, your "status" is elite enough, and this is really just an organization to take your money. If you did fall for them, check out poetry, at least expand your creative horizons and feel good too. Ha ha ha.
