Struggling to meet his work targets, and stonewalled by borrowers over the phone, this loan originator decided to change tack by flying unannounced to the city where most of his prospects were based.

His approach was no doubt impressive. But his desperation showed that I got out of the game at a good time as the days of wining and dining on the client’s tab certainly seem to be over.
Ah well, he can always rely on me, I consoled him, as I bought him another round.
