I'm finding more and more this isn't the case (I agree with you that it definitely has been that way in the past though). More and more business people are tech savvy enough to know what they want nowadays, they might get IT in to do some i

Coudln't agree more. Some comments as a biz dev guy (and very ordinary coder): 1. Don't feel you need to hire a sales gun with a network. A sales person with an awesome attitude and belief in your product is quite sufficient. I sell to mid-
