We're not salesmen. We're professional consultants. No one answered. Heads swiveled in amazement. George jumped on the comment.
Gene is one of the best salesmen in Acme.
Yet by appearance, you'd think he couldn't sell water to a camel in the desert. The group was stunned. Gene was the nebbish they all thought would be the first to be ushered out the door if Acme had to cut back. I never like to be pushy about our stuff. So I ask if they've had any recent issues like a fire or bomb threat.
