Salesman are the worst thing to have as a pump company unless they are educated in the pumps my concrete salesman have no idea what pumps can to so when I pull up on the job I hear "well the salesman said you can do it this way" that's when I know it's gonna be a bad job then I do the job my way and all is well.

nailed it

lmao... you mean you cant swing your boom around the front and drive under the power lines???

The best salesmen are the operators themselves.. Shame the bosses often just cant bear to trust their operators and always think they know better.. So many jobs where I come I think... Damm I should have taken a look at this yesterday.. But they never ask me to go have a look at a job.. And then you hear later that they say you always have such a good ideas and solutions.. Go figure..

Well said guys

Sales personnel should have a Minimum of 5 years operating experience, I know what it's like to work under a super star " Hall of Famer" sales jackass, who can make any pump do any job under any condition regardless of what the operator says. My reply to " well the salesman says it can be done", well then call the sales ape out here to do the job.

It also depends on what you call a salesman.. This is more planning/prepairing we are talking about..

But selling... so geting new contracts.... telling the customers the rates go up and then convincing them they should still stay loyal to us.. etc etc... I am happy I don't have that task... Respect to those that are good at that job...
