Lunch Conversation

2010-08-13

We talked about work pretty much the whole time. We went over the company web page. Where to begin?

The engineers think that web pages exist to transfer information. The sales people think the web page should only exist to get people to contact the sales. I think they are both wrong. They need to talk to the frigging customers and find out what they are looking for when they are looking for our products. Don't just ask them. Find out what problems our customers are trying to solve with our products and make sue they know our stuff solves the problem.

We also covered some internal politics. I was a bit uncomfortable on this subject because one of the people talking has a voice that carries. He still had to speak loud enough to make himself heard. People back at the office probably heard. That is just the person's projection. He should have gone in to opera. No damage done.
