“There is a line that we have to draw sales leaders out there. If the rep is too involved in things like transition, delivery, problems, issues, changes, where that is a true function of operation, well then the sales reps are gonna get bogged down, and they are not gonna be closing enough deals because they are completely distracted by something else. ” - Taylor Barnes
