I’m doing okay Robert. What’s up with you?

Just need to find out about the status of our bid.

Oh yeah…It.. It’s still with me. I..I gotta go over.

Well, we’re really eager to get started. You told me you had a deadline for the month end.. Right?

Yeah. Don’t worry, there’s not much to go through. I’ll be awarding the contract by Monday.

Oh! That sounds great. I am sure we’re going to have this relationship.

Sure hope so. Let’s talk soon Robert. Gotta go for now.

Okay. Thank you Mr. Butler.

Hi Colby. I am Allen. We met at the convention last week… Remember?

Hey Allen! Good to hear from you. I was going to call you myself.

Were you? Well that’s interesting. So tell me, what’s going on?

Well, I really enjoyed talking to you about your business model at the convention.

Yep, it’s pretty unique, isn’t it?

Yeah! The roI is awesome! I was wondering if you can consult for us. We need to improve our operations.

Why not? I’d love to consult for you.

Think you can drop by sometime?

I’ll be in the area sometime next week… Give you a call the day before.

Okay. See you then!

Hi Mr. Butler. This is Robert.

Oh hi Robert! I was going to call you.

Really? Hopefully with good news.

Well, actually I am sorry, it’s..it's not so good news.

Oh? That’s bad.

Well, I had to give the contract to Trenton Associates. They’ve more experience in doing this sort of thing.

Have you signed a deal with them already?

Yes, in fact… I Just did last evening.

Well, I am sorry we lost this opportunity to serve you.

Never mind the experience though Mr. Butler, we executed a similar project for Darren Hughes of Beta Incorporated,

and we did it faster than Trenton ever could.

Is that right? Well, let’s talk again when I have another project, Okey?

Thank you Mr Butler. I am looking forward to doing business with you.

Hello. Is this Colby Shire?

Yep. Colby here. Who’s this?

Hi Colby. I am Todd Hoss. I saw your ad on Craigslist about the auto-accessories dealership.

Yeah. We’re looking for a franchisee in Wichita.

Yep. I am in Wichita, and I have a big store in town. I am looking to start something there.

Sounds good. What’s the size of your store?

It’s nearly 4,000 sq ft over 2 floors.

That’s big enough for this business. I can send our rep who will see your establishment and discuss the terms.

Okay. When can you send him?

He can fly down next week, but you gotta give me some more details about you.

Okay, I will email you my profile.

Sounds good. I am saving your number to my address book.
