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 Mr. Finance? You, Mr. Operations? We have a greater responsibility
than you can possibly fathom. You scoff at the 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 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 dancers?"

Sales: "I did the job I was hired to do." 

Finance: "Did you expense the lap dancers?!"









Sales: "You're damn right I did!"
