When Customers Become Catalysts: How One Phone Call Changed Everything
I was deep into code, focused on my latest project — my phone rang.
I almost ignored it. Lately spam callers have been relentless.
But something made me investigate further.
My phone was screening the call, and I read: "Hey, we reached out for your coaching service."
Here's the thing...
On my Banx Music YouTube channel I give a ton of value away for free.
I offer audio software design coaching for those who need one-on-one help.
So, the caller explained they'd paid but couldn't schedule due to a calendar glitch.
But what happened next completely caught me off guard.
I found myself talking to one of the most inspiring people I've met in months.
Nicole is a music entrepreneur breaking down industry barriers.
She's building a community that covers it all.
Musicians can learn sync licensing, business skills, and software design.
Think about that for a moment...
Have you ever had a customer call that left you more inspired than them?
I've been praying about expanding my network and meeting the right people.
This conversation felt like a direct answer to that prayer.
We connected on so many levels — business, music, vision for helping others.
The truth is... Sometimes opportunities come disguised as problems.
If I had dismissed that "spam" call, I would have missed this incredible connection.
By the end of our conversation, I felt energized in a way I hadn't experienced in weeks.
Here was someone who shared my passion for music, entrepreneurship, and helping others.
We're already planning future collaborations.
I'm already sending her resources from our conversation.
Something tells me this is just the beginning of something amazing.
The Challenge: Stay Open to Unexpected Connections
Look at your recent "interruptions" or "problems" with fresh eyes.
That difficult customer call? That scheduling mix-up? That person who reached out at an inconvenient time?
What if these aren't obstacles but opportunities in disguise?
What if the disruption is actually your breakthrough?
What if it's the very thing you've been waiting for?
This week, I challenge you to try something different.
Approach every interaction with curiosity instead of irritation. Even the frustrating ones.
You never know when a simple phone call might change everything.
Cheers!
