I guess the problem is that for every good salesman there's 10 conmen masquerading as good salesmen.

- BeFlatXIII 5y ago…and since there's so much overlap in the skillset between a conman and a good salesman, a technical co-founder looking to hire them can't tell the difference. The safest path to avoid hiring a fraud is to create a culture that has disdain for the entire profession.
- Sophistifunk 5y agoI'd say a thousand rather than ten, but yeah.
- Nextgrid 5y agoPart of the problem is that a lot of products are just shit that can't be sold legitimately, only mis-sold based on false promises. If you're a salesperson in a company peddling such products, your option is to mis-sell and become a conman, or be replaced by a conman.
