... hired" another salesperson the same day, who was given the same amount of job preparation. All this is happening today. The instances aren't isolated, either. They're the rule, rather than the exception. To be sure, there are "refinements" to the sales-driven approach. However, most of them are essentially little more than a new, and perhaps brighter, coat of paint. So-called "consultative selling," for example, attempts to soften the sales-driven approach, offering more of an iron hand in a velvet glove. But the goal is still to get the order. In effect, sales-driven selling isn't as much a function of skill as it is of sheer luck. Salespeople get excited when they're in the right place at the right time. Something went wrong. A supplier failed to deliver on time or made one too many mistakes. The regular salesperson didn't show up. The vendor went out of business or was acquired. Prices went up. All are easily exploitable reasons for a prospect to leave a current supplier, and we should remember, rationales for dropping the new salesperson, as well. Marketing-driven takes a different approach. It's just as interested in sales, but it's more interested in creating customers first. And it's not a con game just to get the order.
