How To Truly Impress a Client

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 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 a smiling Bill Gates.

“Hi, Ray,” he said.

I replied, “F*ck off, Gates, 
Can't you see I'm in a meeting.”
