time on to please them. He constantly
keeps himself focused on the targets to
be achieved for the month and tries to
reach the maximum. For him, it matters to
be ahead in the race of selling and
therefore he works very hard and smart.

potential customers on his own. He of
course, feels a little worried about Hari
s attitude towards those marketing
executives who sell to small customers.
He is at times belittling in his attitude
towards them and even ridicules their
efforts. However, Sudhir has tried to

of this Sudhir, has reallocated the
targets to all the marketing executives.
However, he knows Hari s fetish for
corporate clients too well. But he also
knows that Hari will have to be forced to
go to small customers for promoting the
products. Sudhir, is aware of the fact
that Hari is a man of strong likes &
dislikes and hence he is in a fix. He is
also apprehensive that if Hari is not
given an appropriate assignment then he
may even consider leaving his job. Sudhir
was fully aware that Hari had no dearth
of opportunities. Sudhir knows that the
dilemma that he is facing is serious and
will have to be resolved suitably.
