Mark had a new client and an important meeting early in the morning. He wanted to boost his sales using the client’s platform. The client was tough and kept asking tricky questions. Mark made a quick intervention during the meeting to clarify facts. But the client still looked confused.

Suddenly, Susan, a friendly university student, walked by carrying a huge coffee. She saw Mark struggling and jumped in with a smile, explaining things in a simple way. The client laughed and said, “Now I get it!” Thanks to Susan’s surprise intervention, Mark got the important contract.
