No shitstain- I’m a pilot and don’t have anything to do with either engineering or marketing. I also run my own company. I’m also extremely welltraveled, educated, and experienced. Which is why I know that very obviously an engineer on his own is worthless. Any company without marketing is worthless.any company with only marketing and no product is worthless. Grow the fuck up.

Ok, Captain.

Just out of curiosity, where exactly did I say that salespeople aren’t important? I merely rejected the characterization that salespeople are problem solvers. They are not. Engineers solve the problem, salespeople convince customers that they have the problem.

Hey genius you remember the part where you said salespeople don’t help fill a need and I pointed out engineers on their own also don’t fill a need? That’s the part where you said they aren’t important and engineers are important. Then you carried on to try to characterize someone you have no knowledge on as an “aspiring mid-level manager”. Go get fucked you goddamn nerd.

The condescending, abusive attitude you demonstrate is common to people who peter-principle at mid-level management. You told me everything I need to know about your business acumen.

The context of comment was the salesperson’s relationship with the customer, not the business. Salespeople do not fill a customer need. The purpose of a salesperson is to extract money from the customer, by convincing the customer that 1. They have a problem; and 2. Their problem can only be solved with money.
