Subject: Fw: How to 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 would
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
Gates.
"Hi, Ray," he said.
I replied, "Fuck off, Gates, I'm in a meeting."
