 Let's not be too hard on sales.
 None of us would get paid without them. None !
 Generally, they are on commission. THEY don't get paid
 at all, and in most operations I'm familiar with, they don't
 get paid until *after* the spots have run, and the money has
 actually been received. If either of those fail, they don't
 get paid at all. They do take more risk than the rest of us
 in that regard. That's worth something. *We* generally don't
 have to do our jobs over again, go see the client again, etc.
 because the client has decided not to pay for whatever reason.
 They have no direct control over any of the departments you
 mention, but are VERY dependent on all of them.
 The folks in sales tend to have certain characteristics that make
 them who they are. True.
 Thank God *I* don't have any quirks.
 *I* certainly wouldn't want their job.
