When Baboon went back to his office late at night, he sat at his desk and wondered himself about the future of business. Digging through a few pieces of mail on his desk he saw a handwritten letter from a customers expressing how pleased she was that he took the time to call and discuss her issues with her. This, he thought, would be the future of business.
