$*$ DotBomb, Inc. is an online retail business through its website, DotBomb.com. In addition to its own sales of a wide range of retail products, DotBomb sells advertising space on its site. It does so through a team of in$-$house sales people, whom advertisers contact by calling a number on the $$Contact Us$$ page of the website.$$ In addition, DotBomb$$s sales people make cold calls to potential advertisers, which they can follow up with marketing materials including their business cards. Jenny, one of the firm$$s salespeople, recently scored a huge victory, selling a one$-$year advertising deal with AutoMax, the nationwide chain of auto dealerships. It is customary in the industry for contracts of this nature to be sold by salespeople without prior approval.$$ However, subsequently her supervisor reminded her that under the firm$$s internal sales team handbook, contracts in excess of six months require approval by DotBomb$$s CEO.
