How to Truly Impress A Client
I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle
a couple of weeks ago.
While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting
comfortably in the corner, enjoying a drink.
I was meeting a very important client who was also
flying to Seattle, but she was running a little bit late.
Well, being a straightforward kind of guy, I
approached the Microsoft chairman, introduced myself,
and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you could do me a favor."
"Yes?"
"I'm sitting right over there, pointing to my seat
at the bar, "and I'm waiting on a very important client.
Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by
and just say, 'Hi, Ray,'?"
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat.
About ten minutes later, my client showed up. We ordered
a drink and started to talk business.
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my
shoulder. It was Bill Gate.
"Hi, Ray," he said.
I replied, "Fuck off, Gates, I'm in a meeting..."
