Chapter 2 - All In
I awoke to an intense head ache around 6:30AM, popped some aspirin, in hopes of kicking it before my 9:00AM appointment. As I tried to get myself functioning the events of yesterday swirled back with disbelief. What the hell happened and how the hell did I get myself into that situation.
I took stock and it seemed I would be OK with two exceptions. One was the thumb drive they gave me. I had no way of knowing if that was the only copy.
Two, was my credit cards, they were all there, but they could have gotten the info from them. I decided I would keep close watch on line and make sure no strange charges appeared.
The first item was a bit more complicated, but I would worry about that later. Right now, I had to prepare for my big work day. After a shower, shave and aspirin kicking in, I felt functional again, and was able to think about last night without popping a woody. That was a good sign. In fact, when I thought about where my face was at one point, I was repulsed.
I turned my focus toward meeting prep and getting into my number one new customer. My predecessor was tragically killed in a car accident, so I was somewhat being thrown to the fire. However, I was a factory customer service rep responsible for the account. I had talked to most of the people I would interact with, on the phone regularly. I had visited them once about 3 years ago with my predecessor. I had planned two full days with the customer to meet everyone and get acclimated to their manufacturing processes.
I arrived at the mill around 8:45 for the 9:00AM meeting. Unfortunately, they had some urgent matters to attend so I waited in the lobby until almost 9:45. A typical day in the life of sales and customer support...
I had several meetings with many different people and ultimately collected over thirty different business cards over the course of the day. They even set up a box lunch in a conference room. I sat next to the purchasing manager, Sheila Brown. She was in her early to mid-fifties and had been with the company for 30+ years. She was telling me about her family and outside interests when her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up looking toward the door.
"Oh Good, you were able to make it. Robert, I wanted to introduce you to our General Manager, Tony Jackson," said Sheila, smiling.
My heart sank as Tony from the men's club reached out his hand. "Pleasure," he said reaching out. "You look familiar, have we met Robert, or do you prefer Robby?"
I shook his hand and stuttered, "Auh...I don't think we've met sir. Very good to meet you. I go by Robert usually, thanks for asking," I said awkwardly.
"I have a busy day today, so I won't be able to join you for lunch. I understand you are here for a couple days?" he asked smiling.
"Yes Sir, I want to learn as much as I can about your operation, so I can serve you to my utmost capacity." I said returning the smile.
"Great, I am sure you will continue to serve me...us, well. Please give my regards to Phil and tell him I look forward to his visit next month. Are you staying at the Double Tree?" he asked smiling wide.
"Yes, I am," I replied cautiously.
"If you're bored this evening and visitors usually are, there is a men's club down the block with a bar and billiard. If you give them my name you can get in for a trial run. Have a good visit Robby," he said walking out.
I was turning red after the comment about serving him and now the invite to the club where I was blackmailed into sucking his dick. Calling me Robby, set my blood boiling. This was turning very uncomfortable, very fast!
"Thanks sir, good to meet you," I said trying not to show my humiliation.
I barely touched the rest of my lunch, and the rest of the day went by in a blur. I finished up around 2:45 with plans to return the next morning and spend the day in the factory. We would review their processes and get to know their operations.
I got back to the hotel a bit after three and hooked up my laptop to review the open e-mails. I spent about an hour going through them when one popped in from my boss.
Subject: Great Job!
Message: See below from their GM. Call me a tell me your secret!
From Tony Jackson:
Great choice on the new account manager. Nothing but good things from my people. Sometimes a new role can be like drinking from a fire hose, but so far Robby has been able to swallow everything we've squirted at him. He is delivering complete customer service! Can't wait for day two! I asked him to visit my men's club tonight. I hope to get to know him even better!
Tony
Oh God, this was too much to deal with. I called my boss as he requested, relieved when he seemed oblivious to everything.
"Thanks for calling," said Phil happily. "You clearly made quite an impression, if Tony sent such a stellar review. He never commented on Steve for the 15 years he handled the account."
"Well, they all knew him so well, they feel the loss as deeply as we do. They are all going out of their way to make me feel at home. I have some big shoes to fill. I am very pleased with how it's going. They are treating me like I am the customer."
"Quite the prize getting invited to his club. I never heard Steve mention that, good job! Make sure you show him a good time! That's what the expense account is for!" He said laughing.
Steve always told me how tight they were with expenses so I thought I would possibly have an out.
"It's pretty pricey, I think there is a $500 membership fee and dues are is $300 per Month," I said hoping he might say no.
"No problem, if it gets you spending time with the top dog of the your biggest account it's money well spent. Great job, you are looking like a superstar Robert. By the way, I thought you hated being called Robby? I was surprised when he called you that," he said pausing.
"Whatever it takes boss. He can call me doggy if he gives us the business," I said trying to sound positive.
"Good attitude!" He said excitedly "I am late for a meeting, keep up the good work!"
I logged off the computer and laid on the bed trying to think about my next move. I had to show up at the club, or there would be no way to keep that from my boss, I think Tony would somehow see to that. My only hope was to reason with him.
Hopefully the professional relationship would be most important to him. Plus, if I showed him I could pay an extra hundred per month to his club, maybe he would let me join without a repeat of last night's activities.
It was 5:00PM and I did not want to risk getting there before Tony. That would mean dealing with Richard. Tony had come back to the club last night sometime after 7:00PM, so I would wait till then. I asked at the front desk for a restaurant suggestion and picked the furthest one from the hotel, making it less likely to run into Tony or Richard I hoped.
I had a quite dinner in a diner about 20 minutes away, freshened up and walked to the club. I knocked, and a new face answered.
"Hi, I'm Kevin, how may I help you," said a 30 something guy with brown hair and slightly stocky build.
"Hi I am Robert Stokes, a trial member I guess you would say. Tony invited me back this evening," I said shaking his hand.
"Come on in newbie," he said smiling. "Welcome, Richard's working the bar, but he went in the back. Can I get you something?"
Oh God not Richard, I need Tony, I thought to myself.
"Is Tony here?" I asked casually.
"I thought I saw his car out back, but he must be in the office. You want me to get him?"
"Could you, let him know I'm hear? I don't want to disturb him if he's busy," I said hoping not to have to face Richard without him.
"Sure would you like a drink first?"
