- st3v3r 10y agoGood for them. How many other companies have tried the same thing and failed?
- strictnein 10y agoThey have sales people. They just recycle this same story every year and get tons of press for it.
- vonmoltke 10y agoA single anecdote disproves "rare"?
- thedaveoflife 10y agoDepends how you define "sales staff". They need to sell their product in order to make money and they certainly have employees who provide a conduit for customers to buy JIRA. Their sales costs are low, but maybe not having more sale people is negatively affecting revenue growth?
