- rconti 8y agoPartying with the right people?
- godzillabrennus 8y agoThey 24X'd revenue in 12 months. Whatever they did produced results.
- da02 8y agoAny profit or income?
- charlesdm 8y agoPeople buy from people they like, I guess? I'm not in sales but it's a lot easier to bond with someone while having dinner together and drinks, than it is in an office meeting room.
- dagw 8y agoIt's like that famous saying: "People who attend coke fueled orgies together, do multi-million dollar deals together".
- erikb 8y agoThe sad thing about this is that if you are doing this real goal driven it might be your main source of income. You spend your company's money on private immoral fun of customers, customers spend their company's money on your products/services instead of the otherwise not so different competition. The key part is that nobody actually invests their private money, but the value they get out of it is private. That's why it works and that's why it's usually illegal, and like most illegal things it happens anyway until someone at the top gets really pissed with you/your department/your company specifically.
- nine_k 8y agoI wonder how much things would.change were all of this legal. I mean, booze and stripping is already legal; consider also legal prostitution and cocaine. Is this just having physiological fun together, or having an evidence of illegal conduct for each other, potentially usable as a weapon?
