After 40 years, my vacuum cleaner broke. But it had a ‘long
run’, so I can’t complain. Thus, I went
to a vacuum cleaner store today to buy a new one. The salesman showed me a wonderful light-weight cleaner that
weighed only six pounds. Perfect, I
thought until he told me the price was $400 … not so good. Luckily I asked if
he had any other light-weight vacuums for a lower price. Indeed, he did and I bought one for
$300. And to sweeten the deal he
offered me a 10% discount for bringing in my old one. I was a happy camper.
In addition, another good surprise awaited me. As I gave him my credit card it occurred to
me that I might be able to greatly assist my son-in-law, James. He owns the Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning
Company and so I asked my salesman if many customers ever asked him to
recommend a good carpet cleaning company. “Yes,” he responded and I proceeded
to tell him about James’s business.
“Oxi Fresh is great,” I said, “It’s environmentally safe, the carpet is
practically dry by the time the technician is finished cleaning, and each time
I’ve had my carpet cleaned my friends and neighbors have asked if I had
purchased new carpet.”
When I left the store I called James to tell him my good
news. Of course James was very pleased
and said he would stop by to introduce himself. Here’s hoping there’s lots of business ahead for James.
