So, for the past 8 months I've been trying to land this big customer who gives almost all of his business to one of our biggest competitors. I finally convinced him to test the waters with us, and we passed the test. The last step to solidify the deal was to meet with his Assistant, who is pretty influential in determining where they send their business.

So, the assistant and I get together a couple of weeks ago and hit it off pretty well. I comment on the interesting wallpaper on her computer and she tells me that it's a poster for her husband's band. So we start to talk about music. Well, it turns out that her husband is in a progressive rock band and is just finishing off writing the music for his first CD. We start talking prog, and she's a huge Dream Theater fan. Turns out we've been to the same DT concerts. I mention Porcupine Tree and she remembers that they toured with Yes, but she hasn't actually heard them.

This morning, I dropped a nice package off at her office...
Lightbulb Sun
Stupid Dream
In Absentia

As well as....
Izz - I Move
Cryptic Vision - Moments of Clarity
Kyuss - ...and the Circus Leaves Town.

Hah! Let's see my competitors beat that service!
