Each software vendor is keen to have their software selected as it will result in a significant increase in sales for their company.
Jennifer Jolie is a salesperson for software company Pitt Ltd. She has told Mr Brad Shelton that he should go to Los Angeles to analyse her company's software package properly, because the programming experts there could give him a thorough demonstration. Ms Jennifer Jolie has also suggested that he take his family, so that he feels relaxed in a foreign country and is in the right frame of mind to undertake his analysis.
