Excellent post Dana!  You are so right about the sales person becoming the 
manager.  You would think that an engineer or PD would make the best 
manager as they are the ones dealing with budgets and day to day 
activities.  But it is the sales person that has the interpersonal skills, 
more often than the engineer folks.

Something to be said for schmoozing.
