Lisa had been working at the car dealership for almost a month. The job she took on was not nearly as easy as she thought it would be. She worked 40 hours each week, all month long, and never made a sale. Her boss had called her into his office several times and warned her that she needed to start selling some cars or she was going to be let go. It was now Friday, and judging by the looks Lisa had been getting from her boss, she knew that her only chance to keep her job was to sell a car by the end of the day.
Early in the afternoon Lisa finally got the lucky break she was waiting for. A man came into the dealership and agreed to let Lisa run his credit. He got pre-approved to purchase any car on the lot he wanted with zero down. Lisa showed him some cars on the lot that she thought he might like. She put a lot of emphasis on the higher end models in hopes of maximizing her commission.
The man took his time browsing the lot and asked to test drive some cars. Each test drive took almost an hour because the man insisted on driving all the way across town so he could get on the freeway and see how the cars handled at highway speeds.
After the hours of browsing and test drives it started to get dark and the dealership was starting to close down. Lisa brought him back to her office to give him information about prices and payment amounts for the cars he test drove. There was a note on Lisa's desk from her boss telling her that he wanted to see her before she went home. She knew that she was about to get fired.
The man said that he wasn't ready to make a purchase today and that he wanted to think about it for the night and that he would be back the next day.
Lisa knew that she didn't have another day if she wanted to keep her job. She figured that her only hope to make a sale was to make a move on this guy. Worst case scenario would be that he would get offended and complain to her boss, causing her to get fired. But she was about to get fired anyway so she had nothing to lose. "Let me give you one more thing to look at before you go." Lisa said. She had printed out a sales contract for the car that he seemed most interested in and got out of her chair as if to get the paper off the printer. Instead of walking to the printer she walked up to the customer, sat on his lap and started rubbing his chest. "What can we do to get you in a new car today?" she asked as she put an arm around him and continued to rub his chest.
"What are you trying to do here?" he asked, alarmed at what was happening. Although the tone of his voice sounded like he wasn't too happy to have Lisa on his lap, he never made any physical moves to stop her or push her away. Lisa figured that she still might have a chance.
