    I know we can all coexist peacefully.

If you were to make this happen, what would it mean for you personally?

(sorry had to google probing questions and try to apply my newfound knowledge. Interesting stuff, I bet you're a beast of a salesman. I've been noticing how good you are at connecting with other people and keeping track of everybody's personal stuff around here.)

I'm not sure if I'm a "beast," but I do think I am well suited to it. There are those that stumble in to sales as a profession and then there are those that choose it and respect it for the art/science that it is. I try and get better at it all the time. I leave every call and self-critique by contemplating the things I feel I did right and the things I would have done differently. I would suggest that to anyone, in any profession. -When you leave a meeting ask yourself those questions.

Good point tng.

I engaged in this conversation with galen immediately, because he asked me, "How could I have better dealt with this situation?" We contribute to our own problems all the time, but it's far easier to see other people's contribution than it is to see our own. More often than we realize, the antidote is to stop taking the poison. I think that is essentially what flagamuffin is saying.
