Red is having trouble helping customers at Bob's appliance store, Bargain Bob's. Red is not making any commissions as he is not selling anything. Red keeps asking difficult questions to his customers about their product choices (what features they are looking for; how many cubic feet of food their family consumes in a week and so on) and keeps talking himself out of potential sales.
Kitty helps Red to role play his sales job.. She helps Red develop his people skills, including smiling. Red tries smiling but scare off another customer looking to buy a food processor. He says he can't help the lady if she doesn't know how many Amperes she needs in her appliance. Kitty knows that if things go on like this, Bob will have to fire Red. She tells Red that customers need him to tell them about the qualities of each product and help them make their decisions. She makes Red realize that he knows more about the products than anybody else she knows and hence can really help his customers to make the right choice. He is tailor made for a sales job. This works as now Red is able to make sales at the shop. Red and Bob end up becoming best friends at work.
