what's it like in sales?

you hop between companies in the same industry contacts are fluid. everyone takes their reputation with them. everything is blended.

you learn to never put anything questionable in writing. Most people dont even hint at things, just not worth the risk.

drinking create plausible deniability of what you said or what was remembered. information spreads deals get closed. and im talking about things that are perfectly clean but may not apear that way if written.

sort of like in person you can say “grab me a burrito” but if you write it as a request its hard for it to not come off as demeaning.
