While Smith calls Dave McDowell the best salesman he's ever been around, McDowell says the most important deal he ever closed was with his wife, Elaine. In retrospect, those difficult years in the early 1980s were "some of the most enjoyable in my life," he says. "During this time, I closed the biggest deal of my career; selling Elaine on quitting a very good job and working for a self-employed dude with no money, a lot of debt, and three teenage boys living with him. Elaine, as my partner and the company's CFO has always kept my feet on the ground and as a result, kept the company on a solid financial footing."
