Change agencies. This person does not have a firm grasp of what we do. She
will not be able to best represent you in the world. She also probably does
not value what we do.
I think you did pretty well for such an odd question. I would have asked for
clarification to the question and, if she was asking what it sounds like, I
would have said all of it.

| My jaw dropped. I repeated what I've stated above, and she still asked
| "What part of it is yours?".
