Saving His Shoes and His Company

A distant cousin of mine has recently opened a small advertising company in Dallas. Some small companies have already hired his company’s services to make some print ads for their products. Unfortunately, he had to turn down some clients because he is severely understaffed.

Although James has received numerous applications, he was quite apprehensive in hiring any of them. From what I’ve heard from our other relatives, James is quite distrustful of strangers. His lone ad writer is his wife, while his secretary is also a relative of ours.

He called me up last Friday to ask if the online criminal records search services can produce detailed results. Of course, my “yes” came instantly. He was planning on going to the courthouses to personally check if the applicants that he is considering do not have a criminal past. However, he realized that this was not feasible, considering that many of the applicants live in different counties.

I’m not sure if I was able to persuade him to try the online search services. I hope that I was able to. Otherwise, he’ll end up losing clients.
