Spooky Salesman Stories, Part Deux

So yesterday, I got to thinking about a Big Customer of mine down in Georgia who should be ordering product soon. It worried me that I hadn't heard anything from the manufacturer about the latest rail transfer to the Atlanta warehouse, as we were out of a particular item this big customer buys all the time. I found out that the new load of stuff would arrive in Atlanta in about a week.

Sure enough, I got a call from a new guy at the Big Customer! They needed some of these missing products. I remembered that we had another manufacturer make some of this stuff, and that we were holding this product in reserve for just such an eventuality. I didn't see the wholesale pricing when I tried to put the order in. I called one of the other sales guys, and he got me straightened out. Turned out the backup vendor had a better price on the product anyway.
