Her Special PayBack: #8
| called the second company. Holly had just left. If anything they were more enthusiastic about Holly. She had to
research one of their problems and get back to them, but all the rest were resolved. Holly walked in the bar and
squinted trying to see if | were there. She spottedand grinned as she walked up to the table.
"Thirsty?" | asked.
"Dying for anything cold," she answered.
We settled on a light beer.
How do you think it went this afternoon?" | asked.
"It went good," she gushed. "Everybody was nice toand they really appreciated that you sentthere to
help them. | have to research one problem, but I think | already figured it out."
"It went better than good," | laughed. "I just talked to both companies and they loved you. You're more welcome
than | am now."
She beamed at the compliment.
"Do you want to go full tas my support person?" | asked.
She nodded enthusiastically.
"| can't pay you much..."
"Phil," she interrupted. "Walking here | knew | really wanted to do this. It's a good product and I'm a good
teacher. The problem is that before | can make you any money, you're going to have to spend even more on
me." "On what?"
"First, clothes. Maybe | can wear this outfit two days in a row, but that's the limit, so | have to get more business
clothes and you know I'm broke. Then I'm going to need a cell phone. All three customers wanted my phone
number and | didn't have one. Finally, we're going to waste a lot of tif you have to driveto every
customer, so either it's MARTA, a cab, or a car. My car was repossessed in Chicago."
| thought for a few moments and then said, "Tomorrow afternoon we'll buy you more work clothes, and get you a
cell phone. | have to think about the transportation angle for a while."
We started talking about her day. Her enthusiasm was catching and we decided that after dinner we would get a
list of customers that she would visit for the rest of the week, and in the morning | would call and start making

There was one downside however. Instead of going to the apartment for a fantastic meal, we picked up a pizza.

week, and she was going to the call backs and the new customer installations.
As an experiment and for experience | took her to the first sales call the next morning. | did all the talking until
the buyer said, "Who's going to teach my people how to make this thing work?" "That's my job," said Holly. "And
I'm pretty good at it."

I made the sale.
| arrived back at the apartment late afternoon on Friday. | had stopped and bought steaks, wine and other stuff.
The week had gone by quickly and the obvious conclusion was that it was wildly successful. Holly was a natural
and her self- confidence increased each day.
| heard the door open and she walked in.
"I would have been back sooner," she said, "But Marta was really crowded and | had to let a few trains go by
they were so full.
"| did get to see the four customers on the list and they're all happy."
I grinned at her. She grinned back. | could see she was excited about something.
"Okay, what is it Holly?"
She asked, "Did you make a sale today?"
| answered, "I'm close on one, but need to see him again next week. The rest didn't work out, so no sales today."
"Wrong," she gushed.
