Stolen Sirius radio leads to personal concierge service

I had lunch recently with a dear friend and while catching up on business he confided: “ Lin, a lot of people don’t know how to use your concierge service. They don’t understand what kinds of things a concierge service like yours would look after”! So I took Bill’s well-respected message and stashed it away for future thought and consideration. That was Thursday.
A good concierge service will
take care of the things that you can’t
find the time to deal with
Behold Friday morning I found myself standing frozen in my driveway facing a vandalized car. My lovely Altima had a brick thrown through the passenger window and low and behold my satellite Serius radio was gone. What a way to start my day. I’ll pause here because that’s when I remembered my conversation with my friend Bill.
On any given day we’re all way too busy –
I’m a busy gal – probably like most of you. I already have too much to do with too little time. Yet here I was, faced with multiple tasks that morning beyond what I had already promised my day. So, I found myself detailing the events of the morning to a number of agents and partners that were going to make it all go away.
Then it came to me –
This is exactly what my friend Bill was alluding to. This is exactly what a good concierge service can offer. They take the ‘waste of time’ and make it theirs. Let’s look at what your concierge partner would do for you in this scenario.
- Make the call to your insurance broker (they already have personal details on file including: license and insurance numbers, so no need to provide all that)
- Make the call to a tow truck company (they already have your CAA or favorite auto repair company on file as well, so know need to worry about that either)
- Through the above calls they arrange to have a rental for you within the hour (major credit card is already with them on file – another ‘need not to worry’)
- The details of the accident will also be reported to the necessary authorities as well as the new satellite radio is being purchased and installed at the time of the repairs
- All ongoing follow-up calls with any remaining details are being looked after by your super efficient, timesaving personal concierge assistant.
Any good concierge service will partner with you. They take the worry out of how to deal with things that you can’t find the time to deal with. They become your trusted and best friend. If you find yourself running on empty with more mileage still to cover, it may be time to investigate the advantages of having your very own time managing, convenient, super-duper concierge professional on your side.
After all, time is the best investment you can make for yourself.
