I walked into the mall with a set plan to purchase a beautiful jewelry and I was leaning toward the color purple. I walked into this store with excitement, and nervous because in few weeks, I was getting ready to fly out of the state. I was going to meet new people and I had no idea what to expect. It was my very first business convention. I have heard many good things about the convention and heard good stories from my good friends who had went a year prior. I was very curious what it would look like for me.
A consultant said something and I looked up because I heard her voice as if she was talking to me. I pointed my ear and said I was Deaf.
Yes, I am legally hard of hearing but I tell everyone I’m Deaf so people would stop assuming I can hear them as if they talked normally. LET’S not forget I was in living in Massachusetts! Do you have any idea how fast these people talk?! So I would have to tell them I’m Deaf so they would pause at whatever they’re attempting to do. I would explain how much I would understand as long as they eye-contact and allowing me to lip-read. Once she and I had the understanding by removing the communication barrier and we continue our consultant to customer relationship.
She was asking me what I was looking for and why I was searching for that type of jewelry. I explained my story and she pointed in a different areas that I may like. I wanted a special kind of jewelry that would match the business celebration of 50th year anniversary.
I was surprise that I was able to try on few necklaces from the glass cases. I have never experience jewelry directly from the case. I was enjoying the experience that I often seen on television as if I was rich person. I communicate my fear, and unsure what it was appropriate for the convention as it being my first. She pointed couple other ones that I didn’t see and I saw one of the set was perfect. I pointed out which one I like and asked her if it was alright for me to test it out. She pulled the beautiful set from the case and help to put them on me. I looked at the mirror and said this is the one.
She and I communicate about the payment and I agree to sign up for their store credit card. I wrote out my information so she could fill it in her computer screen so I can apply the card. I had my phone on the glass case and it vibrated pretty loud. I was embarrassed that it was pretty loud and picked it up quickly. Consultant looked over at me then looked back on her screen.
I had notification alarming me to let me know that someone was using my information at this store at this time. ” Please confirm Yes or No if this was you? ” I looked up at the consultant and she was still filling in the information and she was not even done. My eyes got big and thought ” Woah! That is one amazing service to allow me to put my mind at ease. ” I wouldn’t have to worry. It is like my burden lift and I knew I was in a good hand with this amazing service we call, ” IDShield ” and knew that I am not going anywhere.
This app in the palm of my hands helps me not to become one of many victims today and it is for all people. I love the fact that I am able to check my app, ID Shield to see my credit score, my identity being protected such as SSN, monitoring sex offenders, and more.
