Hatchet Buried - Another New Contributor To DOTC - David Ramos, Strategy Development
The World "Zigs" and the Leopards of DOTC "Zag".
"...I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Someday you'll understand that..."
The World Moves.
No matter how important we try to make ourselves, arguing our negative effect on the world, that we are bigger, more important and outside the ecosystem; violators.
That humans can change the earth, freeze it, over heat it, drill holes in it's protective atmosphere, lower the sea level, raise the sea level - this cacophony of 'chicken little' rhetoric distracting us from the obvious - we don't matter.
Think I'm wrong?
While we install catalytic converters(devices engineered to choke my LandRover) and charge a buck per gallon "emissions tax" our "sacred mother earth" decided to move Japan eight feet closer to Cali.
If we took every single nuclear bomb, hell, every explosive device invented, used or envisioned throughout human history, we couldn't move that island nation an inch. Put that in your Kyoto Accord.
And don't even get me started with May 18, 1980, 8:32 am PST - in a few hours, more toxic chemicals, carbon and "ozone killing" stuff was spewed into the air than ALL OF HUMANITY from the beginning of history.(Google it, no wait, Google, INC. is perpetuating the myth...)
"...don't amount to a hill of beans..."
So, it is within this context, out of a minor storm of controversy, I introduce the latest contributor to DOTC, David Ramos.
Quite the lede, eh?
Unless you live under a rock, or are not part of the LinkedIn community, you've seen David's writings all over.
Strategy Dev. must have a pretty good S/M machine, a bit more "Push" than "Pull" for my taste - but that doesn't matter.
Content matters, and so far, I find David's content pleasing. Appropriate content as measured against our own, high, DOTC editorial standards.
So it is with great honor, that I introduce to you, David's first DOTC article - Please Enjoy.

Open Letter to all Sales Managers – Let the 1970’s Go, by Dave Ramos
I focus on writing on topics that provide substance to the readers and my audience is usually sales/sales management professionals.
I hope this one lives up to my standard and I hope my passion doesn’t come across as though I’m crazy like a fellow “WINNER!” that has been in the media a lot lately.
But I just, have to get this off my chest.
I had a sales manager tell me last week that she wants me to help her people increase their ability to generate appointments.
I said, “GREAT!”
She says “I want to work on phone scripts so that I have my people doing teleprospecting days.” I said, “you are talking to the wrong guy because I don’t believe that is the most effective use of your people’s time.”
Her response was “Huh?!”
