Morley regulars know Clark Jackson, seemingly a lot like Clark Kent… mild-mannered, but obviously able to leap tall buildings!
The firm that Clark works for recently had a prospective client visit for a meeting inquiring of their services. A LARGE client worth $70 million dollars! The company sales reps were in a meeting with him for three hours. When he came out to meet the staff, he walked by Clarks desk, chatted for a sec, and then he asked Clark if he was a disc golfer. Clark happened to have an ace disc on his desk that he meant to take down. The gentleman then proceeded to pronounce that he was a fellow disc golfer and that started their conversation. They talked disc golf for 30 minutes while the sales reps sat listening, scratching their heads trying to figure out what they were talking about, and how Clark was going to screw this deal up talking disc golf. The prospect shook Clarks hand, turned to the sales reps and said “if your operations manager is a disc golfer, I’m in the right place and ready to move my accounts.” Cha-ching!
The reps were BLOWN away! None of them respect Disc Golf and won’t claim it’s a sport, but disc golf just brought them a $70 million dollar client.
Editors investigative follow-up… Clarks company bought him a nice lunch.
