Last week saw ravenous Visionaries gathered ’round vats of Hebrew Nationals and turkey franks, creating traditional Chicago dogs complete with “sport peppers,” chili dogs, kraut dogs, and your garden variety mustard-catsup-relish dogs. What prompted the impromptu feed? Another record sales month: Our August “numbas” were in close range of our previous high, set this past May.
The noontime repast was sponsored by VP of Sales Rex Colorado, who had this to say: “To celebrate your efforts, I’ll spring for a hot dog lunch catered by Yours Truly consisting of the best dogs I can purchase, chili, and all the fixins’–even the stuff to build a Chicago dog in honor of the ongoing work by John, Amber, Archie, Becky, Jeff, Petrina, Joe, James, Engineering, and the entire company’s efforts supporting mass transit surveillance and other mobile video projects in the Windy City. (It’s a little known fact that the nickname ‘Windy City’ came from the city’s trend of producing blow-hard politicians; it has nothing to do with wind coming in off the lake!)” He added, “You might be asking, ‘Why hot dogs?’ Because I think Y’ALL are hot dogs: the best of the best in the industry.”
OK, so Rex tends to the windy, himself (wonder if he’s considered a career in politics?). But he was genuinely enthusiastic in his praise of the ever-escalating sales and customer service efforts by Team Visionary:
Still hungry? Rex has dangled a spicier carrot, vowing to spring for a catered fajita fiesta when we achieve our next record sales month. Should be any time, now.
Hasta fiesta!
