MADISON CAR DEALER
I was really happy that Joe’s business was booming. We sold more cars last year than any other dealer in the Madison area. The only problem was how to keep all these great customers. We kept on meeting and discussing the most inexpensive ways of getting some sort of computer system, on which we could keep everyone’s names, addresses, date of purchase, and all that. Currently we’ve been keeping yellow copies of the purchase and warranty receipts in folders marked alphabetically. Recently, though, we’ve obtained so many new customers that we’re running out of room, both in the folders and in the office! Joe and the other salespeople have been racking their brains. It was starting to get frustrating, because we haven’t been able to find anyone in the area who could help us get this thing going at a reasonable offer. Then, one afternoon, a young man wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase walked into our dealership. He introduced himself as Mike Tervey and told us that he had our data storage solution. He showed us the outline of the database he could implement for us and referred us to a store nearby where we could purchase the hardware. It was so easy! Maybe Mike will come to us when he needs a new car. Has anyone seen the coffee machine?
