Disclaimer: "Mandy? It's CraftyNotepad again on line two. I know, I know. Yes, same message about not owning Phil of the Future, whatever that means. Oh, and Mr. Phipps has cancelled all his appointments with you. What's that about?

Mrs. Teslow? This is Mr. Phipps. I'm not a "charmer?" If I am not, Mrs. Teslow, you most certainly are not a charmer. Those houses you've been pushing have lacked the very essence of charm. Indeed, they are nightmares well into the making. I've saved for too long to be in the position to afford a home of my own to have someone the likes of you attempt to push someone else's troubles on to me, then insult me when you couldn't pick my pocket fast enough for your liking by way of a fat commission. Consider this official notice of my severing my ties with your "service." As you'll not get one more penny from me, Mrs. T, I'll grant you a bit of advice: effervescent enthusiasm is not a replacement for sincerity. High school is over, so act your age and stop coming across as a grinning, bubble headed cheerleader trying to sell a losing team as great to paying spectators just so you can make a buck. I am not an idiot; you should not have treated me as one. You are an intelligent woman, which is what attracted me to hire you in the first place. Use that natural brilliance and tenacity to focus on delivering better results for the clients you still have, instead of trying to replace the business you've lost from me. Do so and I predict you'll shine once more, else, I predict it will cost you more such losses in your coming days. I wish you better fortune in your near future.
