Yuds is right. Salesman are worth their weight in gold. You need to cut your hair every 4 weeks, on work time, and Polish your Brogues every day, you also need to find the attraction of wearing cuff links, and know all the Model numbers of BMW's. You also need to be unable to forecast, or plan, and enjoy Travel Lodge accommodation, you will also probably have a Wife who earns considerably more than you, but normally working for a Family business.
I went to a sales meeting after painting some Damp resistant paint on a wall in a flat, and could not scrub it off, we didn't get the sale.....
I also know what you mean about the standards you would keep in production being different to how you appeared. Perhaps you should have gone in your whites as people often seem impressed with this ( However I am with you in that if you did this, you would be showing that you did not understand the basics of Hygiene by wearing protective clothing in a non controlled environment, but then obviously none of the Dragon understood this anyway)
At the end of the day reggae sauce is being made in a factory where the chap has no control over it, except sales and marketing and product development, he sold the stuff, and he isn't making it. He was smart and had personality, I think the later would have enabled the Dragons to gloss over the wet pits, but you need a "hook" to get anything new out there.
I am available to prepare detailed business plans, Quality Management systems, and Cash flows for the appropriate fee if you so wish ?
