The Sales teams are the front line of our business,
People with energy and strong interpersonal skills,
Representing the rest of us in direct customer contact.
I know almost all of them, and have worked closely with them.
My task is to provide product knowledge,
And the vocabulary with which to secure a deal.
They need us in R&D too.
They’re earning my salary; I’m earning their pension!
We need to be a team. Perhaps we’re all in Sales.
In your business too, Lord, we’re all in Sales, [1]
Although some people have special gifts. [2,3]
We need to resource them and lift them to you.
Our Sales support is often weak or patchy;
We seem to have double standards –
Highly organised in business,
Yet weak in your service.
Lord help me to share my concern and expertise
To get this right.
