Which apparently he hasn't had since he can't build a sentence properly. I ran a 2-way radio shop for many years in Stanton CA. The best salesman didn't know anything about radio. That was my job. I went with him to meetings and filled in the techy details. Later, other employers demonstrated the same principle. At one place, the only technically competent person in management was the VP of engineering. Both sales and marketing were clueless and relied on engineering to deal with the technical details. I'm not sure how much formal education any of these people had but they were all very effective at selling. Good way to do it. I am the sales engineer and the sales team knows when they are skirting the edge of their knowledge and brings me in. As far as I know this is how it works everywhere when there is tech involved. Even if the only education the person received was from the Military, it is usually based on sound practices and principals. Nope. They are taught just enough to get it done, and often done poorly. Unless things have changed. If someone wants to tell me how to do something that I have been doing for 40 years - I just walk away. I pity your customers, since you appear to think you know it all. I'm still learning and will until the day I die. tom K0TAR |
