"It's not what you know, it's who you know." I never believed this. I believed that by hard work alone, perseverance, and application I would succeed. Corporate life showed me the error of my ways. A hard lesson, but better to learn at all, than never.

Looking at my resume, I tend to change jobs every 3-5 years. I used to wonder why. Thank you for the insight

There is nothing to be said or added, ......Truth is enough.

I worked for an automobile manufacturing plant for 25 years. They tend to re-design models every 3-5 years. One time, early in a new cycle, I proposed adding an extra mold for my work group. We always got 2 of these molds, but we had 3 machines that could use them. I did the math, and presented in a meeting of my management how the extra mold could pay for itself with saved overtime pay in about 6 months. They just said, "We've never done that before", and that was the end of that. If I had gone over their heads it might have gotten it done, but I also might have been targeted for abuse or elimination.

This is so true. Our sales cycle is much shorter, typically months, but we've got all the way to CEO level before with a confirmed sale only for them to be fired after we'd interviewed them.

This is how my experience in museums has been. It’s a bureaucratic mess.

Beurocracy makes my skin crawl

I am not in the least surprised by the obstacle of a price limit on the tests. In British Columbia’s education system used to work the same way, certain money for certain departments or programs. My library tech who was making about $12 an hour was laid off. That ended in me going off on stress leave.My replacement cost 40,000 a year, go figure

A busload of corporate types drove over a cliff and all perished. The tragedy was, there were three empty seats.

Well that explains a lot...

It's true. Makes gathering a good product nay improbable, if not impossible. It's amazing that anything guid comes from large companies given how long it takes to get them to accept something new, even if they are looking for it and agre looking in the right direction... It doesn't just affect those looking in from the outside, either... trying to get your superiors to accept changes that might be necessary is so very difficult because they have to choose between what has worked so far (even if only by outward appearances) and some new risky maneuver with unknown potential and unknown risk. The truly successful will find a means by which they can trust those underneath to vet such ideas, filtering out the most risky while potentially improving the most positively effective solutions, and then taking chances... If the large companies, the ones with the capacity to take risks and actually appreciate what's born from said risks, actually took more risks vetting solutions, we might, as a society, have improved so much more than we already have... the largest jumps have occurred when risks were taken, generally against the advice of those in power or those in peer roles, and they either bore immediate fruit OR caused such a mess that they were forced to solve a new problem or disappear...

A person can only keep track of so many people.

When pitching a product to any company is to go in at the top abd work your way down and not bottom up. Most HR departments aren't interested or understand.

First time I see a college teacher, telling his students, how corporate structure really works.

In this fast-moving internet economy I hope corporations become dinosaurs an individual entrepreneurship Rises to its rightful place in a free Society

What is the 90 mnts test that u r talking about, can individual use it as self assessment, can it be self development tool?

its called common sense and being a human instead of a statistic.. kindness and accountability works well too

This guy is the smartest person I’ve ever come across. If you disagree I don’t care.

They are typically slow except when they liquate pension plans.

It's not that difficult if you know the right people. Welcome to the world of contacts and networking

Thanks Jordan, from Israel

You work for a franchise , not a corporation

The title should be: this is what takes to make a psychology product be sold to a corporation.

Sounds like he’s using his platform to be defensive about not being able to sell his product. Ego taking over.

That is the way Big cpmpanies work

First rule of sales is " Do not waste your time with any one who does not have decision making power for your product". If you do your homework there and make a pitch to right candidate they would definitely listen, because everyone likes to increase productivity and look efficient manager. If they do not have power to buy your thing perhaps you are talking with wrong person to begin with. He is totally wrong here.

He seems so naive here lol, like he couldn't figure this out before getting into it.

Jordan sounds like a lazy salesman 🤔🙈
