Peter and John joined a company right after they graduated from College. Both of them worked very hard in their respective assignments. After a couple of years, Peter was promoted and given a hefty pay package with lots of fringe benefits, but John remained where he was. Finally a day came when he could not stand it any longer and resigned with a complaint that the Manager did not value all the hard work he did, but rather promoted those who pleased him. The Manager knew that John was a hard worker, and to make him realize the difference between him and Peter offered him one final assignment before he left the company.
John was asked to look for a firm dealing in leather jackets. So John went out to explore and came back with the name of a major wholesaler in the district. The Manager asked him what prices can they offer us? John went back and brought the basic pricelist. Now the Manager told John let me give the same assignment to Peter and see how he performs. Peter went out to explore and came back with a list of 3 wholesalers of leather jackets and their pricelists. He had also negotiated an exclusive contract with one of them which stipulated a 10% extra discount from the list and an additional 5% if a certain sales target was met. John was highly impressed and realized the difference between his
