I have a story that is true, and painful to repeat.I had a customer that I stopped by to renew some business he had with me, it was a sizeable account and I was not prepared to lose it. This was the week after thanksgiving. Well the family had just sat up to the table when I came a knocking, and they insisted I sit and eat with them. As it turns out they had goats that they milked daily for the table...;:;banghead They had also combined all of the thanksgiving leftovers into one giant pot and turned all vegetables, turkey, stuffing, sauces, etc into one grotesque entrée. I of course claimed to have just eaten as the smell was beyond nasty, and the milk in the dirty vase on the table was concerning. The gentleman explained that no business was going to be done, or taken care off until I sat with his family and ate, so that is exactly what I did. This happened almost 20 years ago, and to this day I will not forget chocking down that warm glass of goat milk..;:;barfDoes this make me a sell out like Trump, doing what I did not want to do, to keep a business deal...I have several clients that insist I have a drink with them when I stop at their farms/ranches, I have never turned one down, in fact one of them has some homemade moonshine that is like drinking gasoline, and I once had to have my wife come and get me, as I could hardly stand up.Sometimes doing things one doesn't necessarily want to do is required in the sales game, it is what it is.</blockquote>
