You’re absolutely right that they are good at positioning themselves into “plum” assignments, which can change the metrics associated with their end performance. I worked with a sales guy that the executives revered. His name was Steve and he was pudgy, so everyone he alienated called him “Stevie Cheeseburgers.” Ha. HA! Also mean. Anyway, this guy would regularly grab the best in marketing, the best BDRs, etc, etc. and put them on his team. Then he had big results, executives swooned, and it’s like, well, all the other sales guys had absolute garbage on their team compared to Stevie Cheeseburgers. Can you really say his performance is that much better when you factor in context?
