[BC] IT Adventures with the Sales Department

[Jeff Allen]

Having great sales people is a bonus for sure...but I sure would like to
have one that has at least turned a computer on at some point in their
lifetime.  I have almost an entire staff that touched a keyboard for the
first time....when they started working here.  Oy.

I was half joking and you're right Doug. Good sales people are hard to find.
I know, I sell along with everything else. I never sold radio in my life
until I moved out of the big markets. I'm glad I have the experience under
my belt but it's not what I live for but in the situation I'm in (for the
time being) it's what allows me to live. I do everything else including the
cleaning of messed up computers. :)

Bottom line: I agree.

  A great thought, but it can be a real challenge finding people can sell
  in the first place. I'd rather have a room full of salespeople with
  limited computer skills than a room full of power users who can't sell
  their butt out of a wet paper bag.
