I met a guy at work today (I conducted a one on one training session with him) and was interested enough in him to give him my business card at the end of the session, which is not necessary at all. When I do these sessions I tell people to set up future appointments via our website.
Well, he quickly whipped out his card and commented that if I have any computer issues I could contact him. He also commented that since I gave him my card he could ask for me personally if he needed more individual training.
So, should I call him in a few days? I do actually have a real reason to call him, Im working on a website and need some guidance, and that's his field. Sure it would be a bit of a guise, but hey...
My only hesitation is that although we don't work together, he could be a frequent client in the future. I don't want to create an awkward situation for myself at work.
I'm hoping that he is interested and calls me. I don't know if I read the situation right, but I thought there was a mutual attraction. But he seems like a generally really friendly good guy, so I can't be sure.
Should I call him in a few days or wait for him to call and let the chips fall where they may?
Yes, yes, yes.
Call him with your website question. Discuss. Thank him for his help. Then tell him you enjoyed meeting him and hope to see him soon.
1. If he is not interested he will simply say, Thanks, me too. and that will be that. If he becomes a client there will be nothing too cheeky said - you'll be fine.
2. If he is interested he will linger maybe suggest coffee - something,
Play it by ear. He may also be concerned about by mixing biz & pleasure. If it feels that he wants to suggest something but is hesitating - tell him you'll be happy to meet for coffee sometime. That's always "safe" and not too suggestive, etc.
Dave1215, you have a point. If he was interested romantically he would probably have given me his personal information.
Though...we were in the type of professional environment that isn't conducive to sweeping romantic gestures and pick-up lines, lol. That's why Im not sure how to read the exchange and what he said...
Carlitasway, we won't be working together in the future. But he will be a future 'customer' so to speak. It's highly unlikely that I will be working with him individually in the future, unless he requests it as he said.
JSizzle, could be, that's why I want to wait for him to contact me. If he contacts me I'll have a better idea of whether he is interested or not. If I contact him, I run the risk that he was just being polite. I think any guy who is interested would take advantage of having my card and would find a reason (any reason) to call, lol. That's why Im leaning towards not calling. I think I took the initiative in this situation, and the ball is now in his court, if anything.
