How could a sales and marketing leader have such poor situational awareness ?
Company is bleeding cash. Let’s rent out two cruise ships. He even went on to justify this plan - he claims renting out cruise ships and flying thousands of people to Florida is actually cheaper than just doing this in a hotel.
Forget about the cruise ship decision. This just tells me that he is a d-mb sales leader.
If engineers built what people want, then what value do sales people add?
It’s on the engineers to build product that people want.
Intel is a failure because people are jealous of other people. Get over it already.
There’s like 20 posts about this cruise.
A cruise is a pretty ghetto vacation anyways.
I wouldn’t go even if it was free.
It doesn’t matter.
Execution matters.
I am all for this. Let's get sales into next gear!!! Go team Intel!!!
And not doing anything, like the rest of the company, is also cheaper than the cruise. The strategy they use works with anything. They could say that giving all ELT a 500% raise is cheaper than giving then a 1000% raise; they still don't deserve a 1% though.
@kyp a better plan to improve sales would be to build better products. And if your salespeople need cruises to be told how to do their jobs, then it means you need better salespeople.
Cruise ships are cheaper to rent out than hotels. Believe it or not.
So what would be a better plan to improve sales?
Please educate us.
