“Where did you go.. we have a meeting!”
Caroline shook her head as Susan’s message came across her phone on the lift downstairs.
When the lift stopped Caroline pressed the button to return to Susan’s floor.
Susan scowled as Caroline walked into her office but before Susan could say a word…
“Susan, I don’t do business this way. My time is important to me. Calling me to come at 8 and then keeping me waiting around is beyond the pale…”
“Excuse me…” growled Susan.
“We are not a fit and so it makes no sense to continue this arrangement. I will email you with what needs to be done, and we will finish what is on our plate for the 28 Sept delivery 30 days from now. My assistant will call you and arrange the details.
You will excuse me as I must leave now for a 10 am appointment across town… goodbye”
For the first time that Caroline could remember.. Susan was speechless.
Caroline stood up, turned and left without looking back.
Caroline was still shaking as she pulled out of the parking spot and proceeded to place a call to her husband.
“I did it.. I FIRED her..”
As she said those words.. the sun peeked out and the light went into the car and Caroline felt the dark cloud inside her finally dissipate.
The fear …. the anxiety of losing Susan’s business disappeared.
Caroline called another prospect she met the previous week who had invited her to an event he was hosting that afternoon but which she had declined due to a scheduled meeting with Susan.
“Hey John, it’s Caroline..just to let you know my afternoon cleared up so I will come and see you at your event this afternoon.. if that invite is still open.”
It was…
To be continued…
Tomorrow I’ll share why Caroline finally had the courage to fire her PIA customer … and love it.
