Back in the mid 90's, selling for our printing company and, as many owners of small businesses are required to do, I landed a very nice account with a company that had 10 locations. It nearly doubled our company's sales.
We developed a good relationship with this customer's general manager, "Barbra," a very capable administrator and business person. All went well over the next five years, until another company in town that was planning to go nationwide, hired Barbra away to oversee the expansion project and head up their operations.
