Introducing Corey
Hey Corey,
I have three new salespeople
starting Monday – can I get a
Blackberry and a Windows laptop
for each?
The employees are Jeanine Cho,
Walter Few and Candice Mueller.
Also Jeanine is in field sales
so she’s going to need an iPad
too – preferably one of those
Retina Display models.
Thanks,
Andy
