The moment that changed everything
What I saw in that meeting.
One day I was talking with my manager about a specific need one of our clients had. I knew how to solve it — a small modification to a product they already had, at no extra cost, that would have made them more loyal than they already were.
The conversation ended. My manager called the account executive.
Two weeks later the client signed licences they were going to
use at 1% capacity.
Nobody did anything illegal. Nobody lied. The system simply worked the way it was designed to work: sell, not solve.
That day I decided that when I had my own clients, that wasn't going to happen.
