The restaurant filled up. I looked around, and I knew someone at every table - they were all salespeople. And none of them were with customers - they were with fellow co-workers. I had the only customers in the place. Craziness. That doesn't happen often! My customers were teasing me about running for mayor.
After I dropped the customers back at their office, I went to my office to ready for 1:30 p.m. appointment. Picking up two co-workers, we're driving out of our parking garage. I turn to them and say, "Can y'all smell barbeque? That's what we ate today, and I swear, that's all I can smell." They assured me they couldn't smell anything, and off we drove to the 1:30 appointment. We get into the VP's office, and conduct our meeting. Everything went well, and we returned to the office.
I get to my desk, check my emails. I'm returning a call on speaker phone, and look down at my desk, and catch something peripherally. There is a small 1/8" piece of brisket on my chest.
I guess I'd been wearing it as a badge of honor for the last 2 hours.
Oh, no, you didn't, you say.
Oh, yes, I did.
I think the sale was successful. Who says aromatherapy doesn't work on my customers?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Oh, my goodness, that's a great way to reel them in! I am going to be laughing about this the rest of the day...
ReplyDeleteWith women's fashion accessorizes today, I would have thought it was a pennant.
