Kelly: What we need are a few people in the industry to talk up our new company.
John: I’m on top of that. I’m really well connected, as you know, and I’ve already put in a few calls to a few of the movers and shakers in our business.
Kelly: I didn’t know you had such a vast network of contacts.
John: Oh, sure I do. I don’t mean to name drop, but you know Kevin Martinez at McQ Corp? I’m pretty tight with him. And Eva Arribas at Syntect? She and I go way back.
Kelly: Wow, those are some heavy hitters!
John: You’ve said it. And Kevin owes me one, and Eva would bend over backwards for me.
Kelly: It’s great! What did they say when you asked them to get the word out about us?
John: Um, I’m still waiting to hear back from them. I’m sure they’ll call back any day now.
