The Asker

Yesterday I blogged about seekers. Today I'll let you know about the Asker.

Melissa constantly teaches me about the power of asking. She is the most curious person I've ever met. She's a perpetual rookie in her humility. And because of her humility she has become very smart.

Last week she called Amazon to ask for $30 of our recent shipping charges to go towards a Prime membership. She asked and the Amazon customer service agent laughingly told her no.

Then Amazon sent a customer survey about her experience. She told them that she wasn't happy with the answer.

Amazon then gave her a $30 gift card!

Melissa asked. Amazon delivered $30!
