The grass is always greener, unless you have to sit....

Today I went to a sales presentation AS A PROSPECT. Ten years of sales and I am now the potential customer. Let me give you the low down on what I now know:
  • No one cares who the team members in the room are, especially if they out number the guests.
  • No one is as impressed with your title as you are
  • No one will understand your inside jokes, except your team, who will laugh hysterically because you are the CEO.
  • And by the way, what the fuck do quotes from old dead guys have to do with healthcare technology.

God help me, what I ever this boring - Wait, nope of course not!

Anyhow, I have a short attention span, but I got some good information from the current customers - who ran hospitals throughout the country. Yes, I realize I am running a shift within a department within a hospital within an organization - but one day I will be in charge!
