Frequently, I have the pleasure of ordering stage lighting products from Barbizon Lighting. They have many offices, but I go to the one in Atlanta since it is relatively close. Over the past few years I have come to know a particular sales person who deserves credit and admiration. Her name is Penelope and she is the personification of the perfect salesperson.

I say this because first, have you ever wanted to proclaim the wonderment of a salesperson? Probably not. It is precisely because we encounter too often sub-par salespeople that those who embrace their gift rise to the surface. Don’t get me wrong, the complete sales force of Barbizon Lighting in Atlanta are wonders to work with. Penelope rises to the surface because she makes me wish I had more money to buy things with. I really want her to sell me more stuff.

She has found her niche and she owns it. Too many times we vocalize about people who didn’t do this or that – I wanted to give honor where honor was due to a person who definitely deserves it.

Kudos to you, Penelope! I can’t wait to buy more lights!
