knew best. Thus, we conclude that Grecco would have competed
with petitioner if she had not received an ample financial
settlement. This factor favors petitioner.
c. The Grantor's Economic Resources
Respondent concedes that Grecco had the financial resources
required to compete with petitioner. This factor favors
petitioner.
d. Potential Damage to Petitioner Posed by Grecco's
Competition
Tiedemann testified that Grecco could take a substantial
amount of business with her. Colbert did not believe that the
covenant was important.
Grecco had demonstrated her ability to work in the nuts,
bolts, and fasteners industry. Also, Grecco probably would have
hurt petitioner's business if she competed because she probably
would have taken clients from petitioner. She did that when she
left Industrial Products Co. to start petitioner. This factor
favors petitioner somewhat.
e. Grecco's Business Expertise in the Industry
Respondent concedes that Grecco had extensive expertise in
the nuts and bolts distribution industry. This factor favors
petitioner.
f. Grecco's Contacts and Relationships With Suppliers and
Customers
Grecco had much contact with petitioner's suppliers, but she
had little contact with its customers when she left petitioner.
This factor favors petitioner somewhat.
