- edanm 13y agoThis is surprisingly less common than you think. Most people don't have a very good grasp of business, and many many businessman have a "sales mentality" that insists that selling as much as possible is the best way to grow a business (while completely ignoring margins, which are what is actually important).
- josephlord 13y agoYep. (Although I think you mean "more common" or "less uncommon"). It is what can happen to sales people especially when bonuses/performance reviews are based on sales not profit.
