View Problem Scenario A to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship.

Joe has scheduled a meeting with his management team for next week to talk about the Peninsula Hotel chain contract. He hopes that he will be able to work with them to draft a contract favorable to Peninsula that will ensure its renewal for another year. He is reasonably sure that the contract renewal will ensure his continued success and employment with UWEAR.

On his way out of the office today, Joe receives a call from Bill.

Bill: “Joe, how are you doing? Got any great plans for the weekend?”
Joe: “No, my wife and I are just planning on hanging out at home and relaxing. How about you?”
Bill: “My family and I are planning a short trip on the yacht. We haven’t been out in a while, and the weather looks perfect. Maybe you and your wife could join us? We haven’t seen you guys in quite a while, and it will be good to catch up.”

Joe is relieved to get the invitation from Bill because their relationship has been strained lately because of the contract negotiations.

Your meeting with the chief executive officers (CEOs) of UWEAR and
PALEDENIM went well. In a discussion following the meeting, Theresa Tramlin,
the CEO of UWEAR, mentioned that she would like you to spend some time in
the field with her top sales representative to get a feel for what the salespeople
face every day selling in the current business environment. Today, you are
scheduled to spend the day with Joe Smith.
As you walk across the lobby of UWEAR, you see Theresa talking to a tall,
distinguished-looking man. “This is Joe Smith,” Theresa introduces when you
step up to them. “You’ll be spending some time with him today in the field.”
“Nice to meet you, Joe,” you respond, shaking Joe’s hand.
Theresa says goodbye and makes her way to the elevator while you and Joe
head toward the parking garage. “We’re going to meet with a couple of clients
today,” Joe explains. “First, we’ll have lunch with Bill Bateman, the CEO of the
Peninsula Hotel chain. He’s a great guy and I’m sure you’ll enjoy meeting him.”
“Where are we meeting him for lunch?” I ask, getting into Joe’s car.
“Bill’s hotel, the Peninsula, has a great restaurant that I frequently use to meet
clients,” Joe answers. “The food is outstanding. We’re going to meet him there
to discuss the renewal of his uniform contract.”
As you continue the drive to the hotel, Joe elaborates on his business history
with Bill. “I was able to win the contract for the Peninsula chain last year,” he
explains. “We were just able to underbid our competitor, Threads4U. In fact,
Bill said that I underbid them by about $5 per uniform. Great victory on my
part.”
“It sounds like you’ve established a great working relationship with Bill,” you
say.
“Oh, yeah,” Joe agrees. “He’s a great guy. The first time we met, I was on my
way to buy a nice bottle of cabernet as a birthday gift for my wife. She loves
the expensive wines. I happened to mention this to Bill, he said he orders it all
the time and offered to give me some for free. I told him it wasn’t
necessary, but he insisted. When I got my car back from the valet, I found not
just a bottle, but an entire case of high-end cabernet in my trunk.” Joe shakes
his head, smiling. “But that’s just the kind of guy Bill is.”
“It sounds like it worked out for you and your wife,” you comment. “Did she
enjoy her birthday gift?”
“Yes,” Joe says. “We both enjoyed it for quite some time. Well, here we are,”
he adds, pulling up the Peninsula Hotel.
As you park and exit the car, Joe explains, “Since Bill and I have been doing
business, he’s referred three other hotel owners to me to supply their
uniforms. Except for when I’m meeting with one of his competitors, I usually
conduct business meetings with clients here at the restaurant in Bill’s hotel.”
“It’s a beautiful hotel,” you comment as Joe leads you through the lobby,
admiring the elegant décor. “No wonder you enjoy coming here. I wouldn’t
mind bringing my family here for a weekend sometime.”
“Actually,” Joe says, “My wife and I have become really good friends with Bill
and his wife. He often invites us out onto his yacht with his family, we go to
social events with them, and we’ve stayed at the hotel several times. We really
enjoy it. You should bring your family sometime, too. Kids love the pool with
the waterfall.
You nod, following Joe into the hotel’s restaurant. After all you’ve heard about
Bill, you are very interested in meeting him.
