    •全球最具影响力商界女性排名：35

    托马斯库克公司（Thomas Cook）首席执行官哈里特•格林说，她第一份带薪工作是在连锁酒店旗下的酒吧里当女服务员。这家公司举行了“追加销售”的比赛——吸引顾客点额外的开胃菜，购买比原计划更昂贵的葡萄酒。

    她回忆道：“我当时的特长是销售每瓶35英镑的教皇新堡葡萄酒（Châteauneuf-du-Pape），这瓶酒的价格几乎是一顿饭的近两倍。这家酒馆位于乡下，因此我把骑师作为了推销目标。”

    Harriet Green, Group CEO of Thomas Cook, say she first paid job was as a waitress at a pub that was part of a chain. The corporation ran contests for "up selling" — getting customers to order extra appetizers or buy a more expensive wine than planned.

    "My specialty was to sell a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape at a cool £35 back then, nearly twice the price of a meal," she remembers. "The tavern was in the country so I would target the jockeys!"
