In the beginning of the trip, Jenny Rae was intern-less. What did this mean? No pictures!

Do you expect a financial reward when you give a referral? Does it depend on the circumstances? If you do expect remuneration, how much do you expect?

The slender, young man we were watching wobbled at the top of his ladder, briefly looking like he was going to fall. Then he deftly kicked out the ladder’s integrated platform and continued his home-show demonstration of the Little Giant ladder. Ten minutes later, every single one of us paid an impressive sum to own the Rolls Royce of ladders.[1] 1] That man could close! And so can you.[2]
