"D-a-r-n straight, and don't you forget it," ordered the new husband, "I'm the man and I wear the pants in this family."
Eileen slipped out of her panties and tossed them to Dan. "Put these on darling," she asked sweetly.
Of course Dan couldn't pull the little piece of lace past his knees. "I can't get into your pants, Eileen," he complained.
"That's right," she snapped. "And it's going to stay that way until you change your d-a-r-n attitude!"
Moral of the story. True sales professionals know that their spouse is the key to their sales success. If there is trouble on the home front, you can't be fully effective at work. In today's economy where both spouses have to work; there is no time to argue about who wears the pants in the family. You both have to! Success in today's economy requires a true partnership; both spouses contributing on the home front and in the field.
