If it turns out that his being a spokesman provides enough sales to employ 1000 people would that also be unethical?

I have no insider knowledge of the inner working of salesforce but I can reasonably surmise that they aren’t paying him to literally sit around.

No that would be great but I think it’s very difficult to quantify, in an objective way, how much value a spokesperson or CEO brings. That’s the real head scratcher.

This was my entire point - it's actually exceptionally easy to quantify, in an objective way. CRM stock price! If the distributed decision making system that is the market decides this was or was not worth it, based on all available information, then we will know!

Maybe they can employ people to track metrics to determine the effectiveness of sales campaigns and CEO?
