By Tibor Shanto. The key difference between a tribe and a herd is that the former walk on two legs. Herd mentality persists in both. Sales like most tribes being a bit more civil than antelopes, prefers the 80/20 rule, over herd mentality. I have always been fascinated by how willing sales types are to accept the 80/20.

Most of us would respond, thoughtfully, “It’s the sales person’s responsibility!” Sadly, though, in practice it looks very different. To many managers, often well intended, take the deal over, they end up running the deal strategy and execution, sometimes delightfully surrendered by the sales person.
