Salesmen and women are the great boon and utter bane of every commercial enterprise; as aggravating yet vital to the organisation’s well-being as the clients[1] they bring, lured by the promise of leveraged alpha, hooked on the magnificent mating displays of backtesting.
Once a client is in the door, Salespeople function as its proxy in the great interior monologue of a modern investment bank.
Which is why they will instinctively parrot that great lie: “all our other counterparties have agreed this”.
The collective noun for a group of salespeople is a “bullshit”.
