One peeve I have had for as long as I can remember has to do with sales. You probably know lots of people, as do I, that can sell anything. They are born to sell and do a great job at it. Of course many of them don't have be responsible for delivering the goods though. In fact, they may have no say in that at all. Their job is to bring business in the door.
For me, I need to know that what I'm selling is what I say it is. I'm not saying I have to sell the "very best." But if I'm saying it is the "very best," then it better be pretty darned close to it! If I'm selling a product that might be a "B" in terms of ranking products, A, B, C and D, that's okay too. Not everyone wants an "A." I learned that lesson early in my landscape design career. I could not understand why people would put up with inferior design when they could have me!
But the fact is, not everyone wants or needs the best. Many don't even want, or can't afford a "C." My point is, figure out what it is you have to sell and sell it for what it is, not for what you wish it were.
Just for grins,
