Sales: "You want answers?"
Finance: "I think we are entitled to them!"
Sales: "You want answers?!"
Finance: "I want the truth!"
Sales: "You can't handle the truth!!!"
Sales (continuing): "Son, we live in a world that requires revenue. And
that revenue must be brought in by people with elite skills. Who's
going to
find it? You? You, Mr. Operations? We have a greater responsibility than
you can possibly fathom.
You scoff at sales division and you curse our lucrative incentives. You
have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know: that
while the cost of business results are excessive, it drives in revenue.
And my very existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, drives
REVENUE! You don't want to know the truth because deep down in places you
don't talk about at staff meetings ... you want me on that call. You NEED
me on that call
We use words like upgrades, another round, top-shelf, medium-rare,
on-the-rocks, Cabernet, Cohiba and foursome. We use these words as the
backbone of a life spent negotiating something. You use them as a punch
line!
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to
people who
rise and sleep under the very blanket of revenue I provide and then
question
the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank
you"
and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a phone and
make some
sales calls. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're
entitled
to!"
Finance: "Did you expense the lap dances?"
Sales: "I did the job I was hired to do."
Finance: "Did you expense the lap dances?"
Sales: "You're damn right I did!"
