The Brain of a Sales Droid – A Visual Guide

by The Cranky Product Manager on December 12, 2011

in Sales

Behold, a visual guide to the inside of a SalesDroid's brain, or more specifically, an Enterprise Software SalesDroid's brain, as viewed from Product Management. 

Yes, the lack of artistic merit in this drawing is profoundly pitiful.  Thank goodness the Cranky Product Manager has a day job.
