Don't do that, please. I'd appreciate it if you'd drop the PR pitch and sales-speak when answering me, if that's all right please... I'd just like to have a discussion that asks legitimate questions and seeks serious answers, for everyone's benefit.


I totally agree with you but in defense of my profession as a Sales Director, and 20+ years in Sales I would NEVER communicate this way with someone. It comes off as inauthentic and condescending. If any of my AE's did this I would coach the shit out of them and if they kept it up they would get a PIP and then if they persisted I would terminate them.

I've seen bad used-car salesmen do this but no professional Salesperson would.
