Don McMillan's Office Maths


And then finally…
…I'm gonna end with a little corporate math. And, er, if you take engineers, for example. Take engineers, take my people. Take engineers and you add in social skills and you're left with marketing. Right.
You take marketing and you remove the truth and you're left with sales.
You take sales and you remove the brain and you're left with management.
And if you take management and you removed a sense of humour you're left with human resources.

Now I'm doing this one night, this is true, and some guy in the front goes; "I'm in pharmaceutical sales. We're completely different. Pharmaceutical sales is completely different."

And you know he's right. 'Cos if you take pharmaceutical sales and you removed a suit, you're left with a drug dealer. That's what you have.

You guys were a lot of fun. Thank you so much. Enjoy the night.
