Ian is a shark.  He is already getting the web development company he just started working for so busy they need to hire more staff - and this is after only 4 months.  However, he called me this afternoon and told me he just got out of a meeting with a client that he had invited his boss to.  He told me his boss is one of those guys who talks over people and doesn’t listen and the meeting was very awkward.  Ian felt bad and almost felt it appropriate to call his client and apologize.  I think an apology may do more damage than good, but Ian definitely won’t be taking his boss with him on meetings – and a sales person who is kicking butt always gets to make this type of decision… boss or not.
