A: How about this? If you assist me in persuading your dad and his friends to endorse me in the general election, I promise to leverage my influence to support your ascension into the C-suite of your family corporation.

B: That’s an interesting idea. I’ll come back to you later.

Note: C-suite, or C-level, is widely-used vernacular describing the upper echelons of a corporation’s senior executives and managers. The term derives from the titles of top senior executives, which tend to start with the letter C, for “chief,” as in chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO), chief operating officer (COO), and chief information officer (CIO).
