There are a lot of people in the entrepreneurial community who jump up and down and say "Look at me, I'm an entrepreneur, this is what it means to be an entrepreneur, ideas are worthless execution is everything," etc.
There are also a lot of people in the entrepreneurial community who don't go to startup events because they're at their customer's offices, showing them how their products can help them.
The second kind is the quiet professional.
- ThomPete 16y agoSorry but that is simply not true. In order to get into that office it requires quite a lot of work and a lot of making people aware that you exist. If you ever worked with sales you would know that there is no such thing as a quiet sales man. That doesn't mean they are noisy.
- qq66 16y agoI think you've mistaken my intent. The second kind of professional is not "quiet." He is a "quiet professional." He is at the automotive parts distributors conference selling his software, rather than at TechCrunch50 selling his image.
- ThomPete 16y agoYou are trying to force a different reality into what it means to sell. There is nothing more quiet about selling your software at a conference than at TC50.
