A friend, Laura, was telling me about the cost of lasik. She and a friend were working hard to get a bonus at work, and they were going to take that money and apply it towards a treatment. They had to visit a record number of their clients in all of their territories. It didn't sound so hard at the start, but with the bad weather it made getting to where they were going very difficult. I made a silent bet that they would not be able to accomplish their goals. They decided to drive together and see what they could get done, with one running in and the other driving. This worked out rather well, except that they ran into a lot of problems with their accounts moving. So naturally they had to call and find them, as even the GPS they had was not accurate. Their boss kept track of what they were doing and how the progress was going, and if any new sales were coming in. The number of actual sales figured into the bonus as well. This was going to be a real challenge, especially as they were competing against teams working in warmer climates where the weather was not so harsh.
