You would’ve been a good sales manager to a team. This is what guys/gals need, is advice on positioning and how to move in certain environment and either qualify their time or cut to the chase of what’s really happening. Most sales/bosses-NSM’s/Regionals [whatever] - have no management or leadership training, let alone any aptitude to teach/guide others. Whoever you are, it’s obvious you have the chops and did well, having lived it.
