If your superior is managing up well, then it truly doesn’t matter if subordinates lose respect. Probably laying groundwork for new ones well in advance of that becoming a real issue for their status.
I honestly don’t know many companies any more that are going to give easily on moving past the sales team. I have seen Sales Engineers, Product Managers, and executive sponsors come to sales calls once you’re a pretty qualified lead and at a certain spend point.
Tbh OP, if you’re looking to scale, selling to people like the above commenter isn’t going to get you there. (No offense to said commenter.)
I am nervous that this will add more toxic fuel to the “breast is best” movement because context isn’t being considered and pros and cons aren’t be weighted appropriately.
Breast feeding is an exhausting endeavor. And I have been surprised by how much guilt is layered onto mother’s who choose for mental and physical health to stop breastfeeding and move to formula.
My hope is that these studies actually lead to better formula as well as the other discoveries these researchers are gathering.
Sure, maybe those bundles weren’t right around the corner. But the fight for NN probably incentivized the MBA grads to not explore those options with fervor.
And it’s very reasonable to assume that avoiding a monopoly case or being classified as a utility is enough of an incentive.
But I have a preference for putting up the defenses on all fronts when it comes to ISPs and their unlimited creative chicanery.
Hm. I would encourage a different, less intense angle here. It’s possible the doomsday didn’t come to pass because a lot of passionate people worked very hard to make sure we avoided it.
I’ve bought a number of used cars. Few sellers have the patience to wait for you to coordinate an inspection unless. Some don’t even wait on you to test drive other vehicles first.
I agree with “don’t relate” as a general concept, but I had to stop shortly after reading this:
“There are two reasons a person redirects the conversation/attention back to himself: (1) the person is deeply self-centered and incapable of processing information about anyone unless it relates to him. It’s likely this person is cripplingly insecure, and therefore his worry about himself has turned into his only functioning pathway to the world. Or possibly this person is a sociopath.”
I know the author goes on to state a more benign reason as the second reason.
But opening with the possibility that someone is a sociopath for over-relating is wild. I’d expect the child of a therapist would choose their words with more purpose and with their intended meaning.
The amount of time they spent in the third paragraph linking to sources should’ve justified quoting at least some of the numbers within those links to help bolster their argument.
I mean… it’s definitely more of a blog than a strict journalism outlet in the vein of say Bloomberg and whoever is on the EV beat.
The writer isn’t publishing false information, and it’s good that the comments are able to add more value! It’s a casual style that has humility and a touch of personality. That’s ok!
“I have spent today drinking from the firehose as much as possible, speaking with the board, a small number of major partners, and listening to employees.”
