Last week, I attended a business meeting and I met a woman named Tina Tanaka who was managing a newly established business. I have been a sales representative for Info-Highway Corp. for three years now and our cash cow is data management software. I told her the overview of our products at the business meeting and she gave me her calling card

I made a decision to give her a follow up call

Tina: Hello. This is Tina Tanaka.
Tony: Hello, Tina. I'm Tony Boyd from the business meeting last week. Do you still remember me?
Tina: Oh! Hi, how are you doing?
Tony: I’m doing fine. Thank you. I want to discuss something further about the data management tools of our company. Are you free to talk about it?
Tina:No, I’m not because I have a hectic schedule today.
Tony: I see. I’ll just send you our portfolio. You can call me if you have further questions about it.
Tina: Okay then, I’ll just keep in touch with you. By the way, I have to go now.
Tony: I understand your situation. I’ll just send it to you tomorrow.
Tina: Great. 
Tony: Thank you for giving me a fraction of your time.
Tina:No problem. Goodbye.
