HARD CLOSE

It wasn’t supposed to be this hard, to close the deal.

​

Marketing man Jacob McGree, 30, is in the absolute worst slump of his career. His young wife was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and now it appears she expects Jacob to provide her with another one. A new employee has been besting him in sales for months now. Jacob knows he is just one more blown deal away from losing his job. Only Tom, a successful floor and tile dealer, can save him. Jacob has invested countless hours in trying to land Tom’s digital advertising account but Tom has always resisted. Jacob’s boss has given him till the end of the week to get Tom’s contract signed or else. Now it’s Friday afternoon. When Jacob’s last-ditch phone call to Tom goes sideways, Jacob decides to call on Tom personally. That’s when things go from bad to worse.
