Respect your sales people - they need to be as good at their gig as you are at yours.
- mrbbk 10y agoAgree 100%!
- flukus 10y agoWhen they do this their talent is making me resent the company before I'm a customer.
- davidgerard 10y agoYMMV - I'm not a great fan either - but the market in toto will tell if they're on the right track.
- wott 10y ago> You know how much effort engineering takes? Sales takes the same effort, Yeah, sure. That's the perfect example of typical commercial bullshit speech that drives me nuts at you guys. > from people of similarly specialised actual talents. Yeah sure, they are not at all people who ended up there because: 1. They were not able to do anything else. 2. They have a lust for money and playing with people. Please cut the crap, when you hold this kind of speeches, I know you're already trying to make me a fool.
- davidivadavid 10y agoI think sales takes a lot more effort. I guess things are subjective? By the way, salespeople who make 6 or 7 figures in commission per annum didn't pick that job because they weren't "able to do anything else." Are you telling me SV engineers have picked jobs where they make 6 figures coincidentally? Or maybe they just ended up there because: 1. They were shy nerds who couldn't do anything but code 2. They hate money so they pick jobs that put them in the 90th income percentile Or maybe... it looks like things are a bit more complicated and clichés aren't adding much to the discussion.
