What a shame such an opportunity was dismally handled,
@Send2deking.
Salesmanship is a skill I know nothing about, but it's not hard to spot a poor pitch.
I feel that it's incumbent on any of us who are in contact either personally or via email with Dave (who I expect also knows relatively little about skills required to be a good salesman), to reinforce your direct experience of a stuffed up sales opportunity, with the reasons you give. All honest feedback is good feedback, so this issue warrants more attention, imo.
If we have one sales guy with poor skills, how many more might we also have?
Hi
@DreadPirateRoberts
Do you agree with what I wrote? Perhaps I'm a bit over the top, but do you feel that you would be well placed and comfortable to re-raise this specific issue with Dave? I haven't met him, and I think my next opportunity to personally discuss this important issue with Dave would be at the 2019 Sydney Techknow. I remember that you chatted extensively with him at last years's.
No pressure, just ignore my post if you don't agree.
