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 Bill Gates.

'Hi, Ray,' he said.

I replied, 'Get outa here, Gates, don't you see I'm in a meeting?!'
