Signs Point to "Yes"

June 5, 2005 -- Rainbird, the irrigation giant, had already committed a major convention to another hotel, but the Hilton Director of Sales was undaunted. He knew if he could make a presentation to Rainbird he could rely on his Magic Eight Ball in Hilton blue. Whenever he needed a "yes" he turned to his new marketing tool. He asked if the Hilton would be the best location for the event. He turned over the psychic sphere and showed the Rainbird executives the answer, "Signs Point to Yes." Throughout the sales pitch, the Magic Eight Ball never failed. When it was time for the big question, the Director of Sales asked the blue soothsayer, “Do we have a deal?" “Yes,” was the simple answer.

The Rainbird Executives were astounded. One demanded the clairvoyant ball asked the same question and shook it. Slowly he turned it over and read the response. "Yes." The executives were so impressed that they shifted the Rainbird convention to the Hilton, provided that they got to keep the Magic Eight Ball.
