Did You Ever Play Twenty Questions?

Did you ever play the game twenty questions? Well, I did the other day after a visit to a nursing home to visit a friend who was recuperating from an accident.

The twenty question game I played was what kind of business could benefit from having DirecTV and the sports packages because of course I hate to miss a good game or any game for that matter.

The first business that I thought would do well having satellite tv is the gym, who wants to work out watching other people sweat?

Then there is the auto dealer, every time I go to the dealer to look at a new car and have the family with me the children get bored, they start misbehaving and then its take them home or else.

What about the office how great would that be, not for sports but to know what is going on in the business world all the time, the stock market reports, the latest news it could actually make people more productive because they do know what is going on in the world.

This might not be the usual game of twenty questions but it is something to think about because there are a lot of businesses that do not have satellite tv that could really use it to their benefit.

The Best Place For A Workout Is Also The Best Place To Catch Up

It turns out the best place to workout, which of course is the gym is also the best place to catch up on news and sports if the gym has satellite tv.

A friend was telling me about the gym that he goes to and how while he is working out he wears his head set that ends up getting in the way. He listens to music and he said then he has to rush to the office to try and catch the latest news and stock reports.

At first I could not understand this because at the gym I workout at has satellite tv with DirecTV making it easy to catch up while I work out. Then it hit me he does not go to the same gym; he has a membership some place else.

After I told him that the place I am a member has a DirecTV package he decided that he should change gyms so he doesn’t have to rush his morning workout so he can see the news.

This is such a simple thing for a business whether it is a gym, fitness center or even offices to have the news available on satellite tv for the members that work out there and at the office what better way for employees to stay on top of news and stock market prices.

What Brings Customers Into A Business?

As a business owner there are times when you visit another business and the place is loaded with customers and they are all enjoying themselves. It does not matter if the business is a restaurant, a health club or even a nursing home.
One thing that you can usually find there is a television with something on besides the local channels. That means they have satellite TV and the provider that wins hands down is DirecTV because of their business packages and their HD programming.
This is what draws people to certain places, when someone goes out they like to be entertained they have no intention of going out to be bored. They want to be entertained and be with other people that like the same type of entertainment, otherwise they could stay home.
There are so many businesses that can benefit from having a television provider like DirecTV business with the packages that they have any type of business will attract more customers when they can entertain the customer. Even the auto dealership can benefit, if the children of a potential customer are entertained that means the customer is going to stay longer and that means a potential sale. The auto dealer without a DriecTV business package leaves the salesperson at the mercy of these children who will become bored and cranky wanting to be taken home.
