If you’re like me, you have heard many references over the years to a “revenue driven organization” or “client facing firm”, all code words for those cultures where sales rules the roost. Â So what would happen if they ran your entire company? Â For one, if revenues were down in a given quarter, it would likely be because:
- Engineering didn’t fully build out the feature set.
- Product management failed to properly scope to market need.
- Finance messed up the pricing.
- Legal made the contracts too onerous.
- Marketing had the wrong messaging.
- Customer service is poor.
…and the list goes on. Â So imagine my pleasure in receiving a link to the following parody of A Few Good Men. Â Your firm is Tom Cruise. Â Sales is Jack Nicholson. Â Enjoy the laugh and let’s keep the conversation going. Â
