[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sales side here (now director of sales) what are the specific issues you have?

If it is the trying to get sales in before end of quarter, that is a management thing not a sales person thing.  I don't allow that to happen at the company I work for. I don't care if you get the sale in the last day of one quarter or the first day of the next quarter. In the grand scheme of business and life, it makes zero difference. [/quote]

From earlier in the thread

Sales:

1) Are only about the $$
2) Are big picture, don't understand why the details have to be right
3) Don't plan ahead so routine work becomes an emergency
4) has no idea of turnaround time
5) Dip in and dip out of the office all day long, and are frustrated when contracts isn't available in the evenings after contracts has worked 9 hours at their desks[/quote]

This is hilarious and accurate.

In all seriousness, legal and sales get different messages about risk from leadership.

Sales goal is to close the deal no matter what. Risk is rewarded.

Legal goal is to reduce risk at all cost. Risk aversion is valued.

Two teams with opposite objectives. [/quote]
