Creative way to get a sample in....

Having trouble getting a sample into a large potential customer's presence?

When Jared heard that one of his target customers was going to lose their manufacturer-direct product line in the coming year he arranged to have a product sample sent to himself but at the customer's address. When they called to let him know he immediately apologized for the error then promptly stopped by to "pick it up". The owner was in attendance when he stopped by and he asked if the owner would like to see next year's product model. He would...Jared assembled it...the customer loved it and the rest is history. A new and very happy customer. Can you be that creative...always having the customer's success in mind?
