The same just isn't true of product development, sales and marketing. Any one of those three teams, staffed well, will account for well more than the value of the entire engineering organization.
Okay, slash your engineering staff and double the sales people and lets see how you do.
How is any of that not done by thousands of other people as well? Especially sales.
- biohax2015 9y agoSales is more difficult than engineering. There, I said it.
- sidlls 9y agoI disagree. Sales is fuzzier than engineering and requires a different set of skills and methods to resolve problems.
- SturgeonsLaw 9y agoFor a certain type of person, sales is much easier - if not completely natural. For others, the same could be said about technical pursuits. I don't think it's possible to make general statements that one is harder than the other, because it depends very heavily on the person involved.
- richardjennings 9y agoI'm sure selling mediocre, repackaged, off the shelf tech is harder than engineering it. Standing on the shoulders of giants gets us a long way quickly (and easily). IMHO engineering is more valuable; I define value as the expansion of possibilities & opportunities (to sell).
