For every transaction, there is typically a winner and a loser. The winners brag, and the losers keep quiet.

- tommiegannert 5y agoIn sales, you're looking for a (perceived) win-win situation. In that situation, both sides get to brag about their good deal. One of them perhaps later regrets their decision, but they won't send a press release about that. And so we hear two positive stories, and no negative.
- skinkestek 5y agoOften it is actual win-win: - Customer pays me, I solve their problem. Sometimes it is a bit more nuanced: - We sell the customer a better solution, they get a better (and less expensive) solution, but their previous supplier end up losing business. I can live happily with both these scenarios.
- JohnFen 5y ago> For every transaction, there is typically a winner and a loser. This is certainly not true. Most of the transactions I engage in don't have a winner and a loser. Those that do tend to be transactions that I consider "bad", regardless of whether I'm the winner or the loser.
