We’re getting e-mail on last week’s story on “you don’t ask, you don’t get.” I know you’ll enjoy hearing how this lady got a $100 retro-active rebate on clothes, just for asking!

Last week’s piece on “You don’t ask, you don’t get” churned up a flood e-mails to this station. Thanks — keep ‘em coming! Send us your stories! We love them. I’ll read the most interesting ones on the air.

When it comes to asking, I think of big things in life — love, respect, loyalty… But apparently, most people are happy if they can just get a discount! Almost every response was about saving money. Here’s one we liked a lot:

I went with my husband to this exclusive men’s shop he likes. Since his regular salesman was very busy that day, another gentlemen helped him select over $500 in merchandise. Four days later, in a general mailing, we received the store’s coupon for $100 off purchases over $500. Since my husband bought these clothes within the time frame specified, I told him to call his regular salesman and ask if he can use the coupon — because if the regular salesman had waited on him, he would have mentioned the coupon. After much hesitation and lots of excuses why it wouldn’t work, my husband called. And guess what — the salesman said, “Sure, come on in!”…Just for asking we got back $100! Thanks for your inspiration, Doug. You’re right — if you don’t ask, you don’t get!

Thanks to Linda Rasman of Oak Park, IL for this example. Many people believe that good things come to those who wait. I believe that better things come to those who are smart enough to ask!
