Got a Pen?

Never go into a meeting without a pen and something to write on!

Jerry learned this the hard way! He went into a meeting with the President of the company, without a pen and a pad. While everyone else around him was jotting notes from every comment of the president, Jerry found a scrap of paper and asked to borrow a pen from someone. His manager chewed him out!

After that, lesson learned was to never go into a meeting without a pen and paper. Especially in high power meetings with important people.
