Well done, sir.
Just an FYI...this "Carmine" character is one I am often accused of being. He is one of the big sales managers and rumored to be difficult to work for...
He actually played pro baseball for ten years or so but never made it to "the show" (I think he was with the White Sox organization but not 100% sure)
Credible backstory, you are a mad genius. Drop a few subtle baseball-isms ought to pin it on Carmine good.
There is no crying in sales.
You are just a double A player.
You get the gist.
