A meeting in St Louis-
Fanball Exec:
Welcome Greg, sit down, I have a few things to discuss. And I know you have a few questions for me as well.
Greg:
Sure, yes I do.
Fanball Exec:
As owners of the NFBC, this first year has been a rocky one for us at Fanball. Our bottom line was fine but we keep receiving complaints from YOUR customers.
Greg:
Yes. Most of them are not happy with the progamm...
Fanball Exec:
Ahem. Of course we don't mind a few complaints as long as the bottom line is met. Do you see money, er, growth in the future for the NFBC?
Greg:
Yes. We have a loyal base of customers that love the competition. They tell friends and if Fanball can correct some of the....
Fanball Exec:
Ahem. Yes, well that is good to hear. You know that money, er, growth is the most important thing to us here at Fanball.
Greg:
Owning the back end is what sells me on Fanball. The days of 'renting' the back end are just about behind us. In this way, Fanball is a savior for us. However, the programming...
Fanball Exec:
Ahem. Speaking of programming, did I tell you we have nine, count 'em, nine programmers? Biggest bunch of nerds you ever saw. Wouldn't know a baseball from a beach ball.
They work cheap though.
Greg:
Are any available?
Fanball Exec:
Now?
No.
Most of them are in Sri Lanka working on our new Fantasy Cricket game. THAT is going to be boffo for us here at Fanball!
Boffo!
Greg:
When can we expect some help with the NFBC?
Fanball Exec:
Greg, Greg, Greg...We are like WalMart here. We have many departments within our store. Your department, despite what you perceive as a lot of complaints still only ranks in the middle of all our other departmental complaints.
Why, we have a special computer designed to take in the complaint clutter to leave our other computers free for our games. That reminds me, it's overloaded, gotta get a new one.
Greg:
So, when can we expect some help with the NFBC?
Fanball Exec:
Not to change the subject, but I am, are you coming to my party?
It's gonna be Boffo!
Gannon will be there.
Says he'll be the first to sign up for a Cricket team. Of course, we'll have to find somebody to run it for him...
Greg:
Some of our customers are unhappy with the cost of venues next year, any ideas?
Fanball Exec:
MVP Party 2! We never had the first one, this party has nowhere else to go, but up!
Boffo!
Who's the man with the plan?
I am!
Boffo!
Greg:
Our customers have to pay $100 fees for these lavish venues. On top of that, over $200 a night for lodging, this is a concern for me.
Fanball Exec:
Is there a metal or jewel more expensive than diamonds or platinum? We need a $100,000 entry fee league. Plutonium? Yeah plutonium. That's a metal, right?
Lets start a Plutonium League.
Jot that down.
It'll be Boffo!
Greg:
Well, I've gotta go. The Message Boards are getting full of complaints about Fanball programm...
Fanball Exec:
Ahem. Hey Greg, anytime I can be of service, just c'mon back and visit us here in St Louis. Did I tell you we have a whole room full of servers so that our site never gets slow?
Greg:
Oh, that was another thing I wanted to bring up, the servers, during the faab process have been slow to...
Fanball Exec:
Ahem...I've got to go too, Greg. Tee time with the CEO of Bellagio, Rich Gannon, and one of our programmers.
Greg:
One of your programmers? How about I join your foursome, while the programmer works on NFBC problems?
Fanball Exec:
Greg, Greg, Greg....You look like a pretty good athlete. I invite the programmer along as insurance that one of the other three of us doesn't finish last!
You have a lot to learn about business, my friend. A lot to learn.
Well, I hope I've helped and given you some ideas on how to make the NFBC better.
Greg:
Uh. yeah, thanks. I'll be in touch.
