Thanks Justin.
I actually agree with everything you’ve said, but what I’ve been suggesting has either been misunderstood or poorly communicated.
I’m not seeking a “slick” sales pitch with lots of sizzle, just someone who can maximise the limited time they have to promote something. That comes with clear, fast communication, simplifying what’s difficult and most importantly making it relevant to your audience. It’s a pretty humble aspiration, not seeking an American style fast-hustle pitch. It is merely professional communicating and I think Derek failed on every metric.
People here might seek to be defensive of our CEO as a natural inclination. I’m not seeking to attack the man or criticise gratuitously. They are my objective thoughts on something I find is critically important to grow a business.
The former CEO and current director of another company in which I’ve been invested for years has a severe stutter. He is a lovely man, super smart and knows more about the technology than anyone on earth. There is nobody better qualified to be across his subject, but there is simply no way in hell he should be a communicator.
That is just an example of a communicator who is a 1/10.
Derek is a 5/10.
We need a 10/10.
Not too much to covet, is it?

PS. I’m not a sales person, I’m a lawyer (collective groan).

A lawyer! At this point, I understand the groaning!
I guess that now explains the detailed debate on this subject. Which by the way I am not criticizing, I have many wonderful lawyer colleges who I deal with and are amazing in their chosen field.

Like I've said before Art maybe it's time to put this one to bed. Sometimes in law, we need to walk away? For peace of mind anyway

All the best
