“If you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.” (The Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven, a.k.a. TINA)

Being in business since three decades for getting things done I think I should have a word with The Right Honoureable. But the fact that I hesitate to gout on a limb does not prove her wrong. Especially not when observing the typical American loudmouth sales executive in action. By and large her point is well taken.

“Great feedback from the sales force on loss reports: We don’t suffer any losses. We only see postponed wins, or disengaged opportunities.” (Jeffrey Kahn).
