Hoping to solicit your advice and benefit from your expertise, she requests to meet with you to discuss some of the challenges she faces in her new role.

The two of you meet for lunch where you learn more about her new employer, MyShoppingSpreeTV, a multichannel electronic retailer reaching 13 million homes in the United States via cable and satellite television.
