One of the primary activities really good salespeople practice is listening..
But most folk have a completely distorted impression of what's actually involved in selling things, they think it's about being aggressive etc

And if you have a distaste for the idea of sales I would recommend giving your privilege a thorough once over 👍🏻

@sue For this reason, especially, I feel like most developers should spend time in presales. It puts one on the front lines with the customers trying to actually use the software to do things!

@sue the best salespeople are storytellers. Here's where you are, and it's good, but there's something missing, things are harder than they should be, and here's something shaped like a solution, and we can go on the hero's journey together to make it better.
