Certainly not without more details.
Good sales is far more complicated than closing deals. It's like in poker: you'd much rather fold a good hand (unclose a good deal) than shove all in and then lose to an even better hand (close the deal and then discover the customer was a bad fit, which has negative second- and third-order consequences.)
- Throwawayh89 3y agoThe big caveat here is “good sales for the company” Sales reps so often have incentives that are terribly aligned with the company’s long term success.
