Well, since this is the case, I will continue my rant about Sales people.  More often than not, they sell something that can not be delivered, in a time frame that can't be met, and when a customer is up in arms about, they will always point their finger to the operations team, who told them the logistics of the product and turnaround time WELL in advance.  I also very often have to deliver a product that does not even meet the specifications that were sold by the sales rep.  In return, my stellar customer service and follow through turn into a positive relationship between the customer, myself, and my company, which then leads to improved sales and a spike in commision credited to said salesman, who turns around and does the same thing to me 2 weeks later, and then goes on vacation for 3 weeks and buys 6 more suits, some hair gel, and a nice fake smile.  And most of my sales reps don't come anywhere near 5'6".  There is something fishy about this...

she is wearing his nutz as bling earings...a rite of passage ld is about to enter when he gets castrated this weekend and starts attending wine/cheese parties at art gallery openings and goes shopping at neiman marcus on saterday and sunday afternoons...

One thing I don't have to worry about with WTFF is Wine/Cheese parties and art galleries.

It's ok RSW, like I said one of my bestest friends is in sales... a slimy, all smiles, van driving, stank breath salesman.

The funny thing about sales... is they are NEVER accountable. They bring in the business at X margin... when it turns out that the specs and delivery dates they so graciously bestowed on their customer would NEVER work out if everthing went 100% smooth. So that turns into a technical/logistical nightmare in production... and we end up losing money due to increased waste, downtime, and of couse overtime. But somehow it's productions fault for not "making it work". So the real margin has been shot but salesdood gets to take his wife to cabo since his commission is safe.

That being said. What are the chances Union starts 0-2??

p.s. That stank breath comment was a joke, reg. You have mantastic breath. Is that a hint of cinnamon?

Gro -

Noted your omission of "frozen".  Too bad RPI and Bart moved the series to earlier in the season.  The Turd Bowl was met to be played in November when its just plain nastay out.

I expect Turd Bowl CXIII (how many times have Hobart and RPI played anyway?  Has to be at least since 1890's or early 1900's) to be another high scoring-pass happy affair.

RSW - welcome.  U on the West Coast like TGP?

Ohhh sure...Gro...now you want me to work...I see how you are...

I am sure there are many....and when they have something to say...they will jump in...

I just couldn't take any more of the salesman bashing...since I am in sales myself...and just tried to segway back to the topic originally proposed by the illustrious administrator...and I quote...from Post #1...

"This is the new home of LL discussion...."

JT does the sales thang too, just was bitching about those sales types that are beneath JT.   A lot of what JT does is broker many different types of manufactering processes to make a final product.  We create the designed product, go on press checks, manage fulfillment, and shipping of the product.

We make wacky sh*t that designers and marketers envision, but can't figure out how to produce.  Many times JT's figuring out too... on the fly.

JT just figured out how to make 500,000 plastic full color gall bladders with vanes and all.  When JT started, he didn't know a gall bladder was green.  All our competitors passed on the project.

NEWSFLASH!!! - John Holmes is BACK!!!  He plays safety for the West Virginia Mountaineers...[/b]

ESPN Announcer:  'John Holmes, He can make tackles.  He can cover.  He can make plays.  He can penetrate.'

I couldn't have said it better myself!!!  I wish I could make stuff like that up!

Grad also noticed that WVU has a rifle team.  I can go to school and shoot a gun...Nice!!  From their schedule other schools with rifle teams include Memphis, Ohio State, Army, Nebraska, Kentucky, NC State & the ever popular Tennessee Tech.

JT-

You hit a nerve with Reg there....
When I go to meetings that I need to fly and stay a couple days....I have a problem.
As if I didnt already have to pack a couple sets of clothes, because you never really know what the dress code, "business casual" means.  Usually it is at least 2 diffenet things, and then you are then going to give me hard copies of everythign we talked about?  WHy don't they ship the stuff from the meeting to my house?  WHy do I need to lug it around?

If my post sounds like it was written by a pre-schooler, blam it on LD11 for posting such a large picture....I am not scrolling back to see what I have already wrote in order to make sense.

Man over the past 2 years, U89 knew he had a connection to his boy Reg!!!

Like Reg, U89 is in sales (5 years pounding the pavement.....8 years in management).  Without humps like Reg and I, you lazy ass computer junkies would be on D3.com 24/7 instead of 23/6.5!!! 

JT....U89 is in medical and deals with live internal organs on a daily basis instead of the ones which your company presses out of plastic.

Without sales support on the street, engineers and marketing humps would be having 69 meetings a day attempting to figure out why inventory is expiring on the shelf!!!

U89 is sorry......LLPP regulars started busting balls on the boys in the trenches!!!!!!

[union89]

Excuse U89 while he grabs his 35th Miller Lite...........

I never questioned a need for sales, and I don't direct my angst towards ALL salespeople.  There are just a solid handful that give the rest a bad name.  And let's face it, sales people often don't know ENOUGH about what they are selling.  That's all.  I've seen Regulator in action.  The kid is thorough, he knows his stuff, and he follows through with his customers.  He doesn't just sell it and run to collect his paycheck.  It's almost as if he cares.  Just like me.  Almost as if I care...

Off to the airport.  Nuts are in the jar.  Talk to you boys Monday...

[PBR...]

ic pbr's high school had a rifle team even some chicks were on it and they were some of the best marks(wo)men around....kinda wild everyday after school kickin back shooting a rifle...someguys hit blocking sleds and some shoot things
