tMP Business Referral Service?

[JessopSmythe]

After bumping into tMP members at various banding events, today was my first experience of the power of tMP in the workplace.

Walking into a meeting in a potential customers premises, I was greeted with the phrase "I know you from somewhere". Some minutes later, my potential customer turned to me, rather to the surprise of his boss and said "You're Jessop-Smythe aren't you?"
A Fellow tMPer! our very own Deano.
Ice suitably broken!

Could tMP become the place where deals are done? Should I put a discreet little tMP logo on all the quotes I send out?

It would certainly be a lot easier than the older tradition of doing business on the golf course. Especially for an idle git like me. Walking to the car is plenty of excercise.

ahh, the power of tmp!

 

[lynchie]

it's spreading... maybe we should have a secret handshake...

 

[Okiedokie of Oz]

And a pass phrase!!!

"The sweet tone of the flugel will conquer all"
which can be replied with
"But the euphonium will forever dominate"

It's almost like a mysterious fraternity.....isn't that how all the Americans get jobs these days?? through their frat brothers? Hmmmm....once again John's vision of ruling the world rears its head

I can see it now... 2 dodgy looking types in long coats and dark glasses on a park bench...

"I hear there is a choice of tests for the open this year"
"It is true that many crazy things are happening..."
"Ah good, you are a tmper, thought you might have just been a dirty old man..."

 

[ScrapingtheBottom]

"Ah good, you are a tmper, thought you might have just been a dirty old man..."

The two are not mutually exclusive, my son.

And you're still alive, I'm losing my touch I tell you.

I reckon the greeting's more likely to be: "My name's XXXXX and I'm a tMPerholic" :shock: :wink:

So much so that I've forgotten my name?

 

[Seedhouse]

Lol! Am liking this thread! :lol:
Take it we'll be requiring a tMP anonymous then?

 

[Aidan]

did he recognise you from your avatar?

and did you get the deal

 

[johnmartin]

As long as I don't have to roll up my trouser leg and there's no goats involved.

 

[Seedhouse]

Think there's a story worth hearing behind that... :wink:

 

[ScrapingtheBottom]

Ixnay on the goats, it's supposed to be a secret society, John.

 

[Raspberry]

I look forward to seeing you in your new attire Chris at the next rehearsal!

 

[bigmamabadger]

Well I ain't polishing no-one's jewels or anything Masonic like that...
However, I do feel extensive use of trouser semaphore could be made, as pioneered in The Chap Magazine
BMB :wink:
