"Sales people no matter where they are from have at least a little bit of this tendecy in them - "lie at little, cheat a little but always be sincere about it"
6.) Or as the fleet manager for a very large plywood company told me once "If a sales person says it to him - he believes 0% of what was said and if he puts it in writing he would only believe 50% of it." His name was J.D. Mills.

Thats not a nice thing to say about sales people is it Johnr_J? why would you want to tar all sales people with the same brush? dont you think their is good and bad in all trades? its not like you dont ever hear complaints about ops deparments or techs is it? I have to agree that most engineers are painfuly honest with customers, its just that when it comes to booking overtime etc that "accidents" can occur.

Dont mean to be nasty but JD Mills is a tiny bit ignorent and arogant to make such statements of legendary wisdom dont you think?
