It finally happened

I interacted with an influencer.

I am stunned at this guy’s mind.

He placed an order for delivery.

Due to scheduling and other factors, it arrived over a week after what he thought it would.

This employee offered the customer 50% discount.

He calls in so the whole fee can be refunded.

The services were still rendered, so we just offered 50 percent off.

That is when the magic happened.

The customer threatened him about getting a bad review on YouTube.

“Sir, listen, listen. I do not want to brag, but I run a YouTube channel.

We are doing videos to promote your products. I can show you one with over 500,000 views right now.

He said, “No, thank you.”

I responded,  “No thank you, sir. I am afraid we are not allowed access to YouTube at work.

Now, we can offer you half off your fee. Our team did drive there and deliver your product.”

He thought my company would care about his influence. Sheesh.
