Explaining file types to Sales people

[Grimace]

I am trying to find a guide for the typical sales person that explains, in a way a sales person can understand, different file types and their uses.

Has anyone come across a good breakdown? My Googling isn't finding what I hoped to find.

Of course they will have to read and attempt to understand. No easy feat for sales people.

Really?! I gave up attempting to communicate with the tards in sales. I merely send them a pdf of our digital specs and tell them to forward it to the clients. Trying to explain anything digital to them usually results in their eyes glazing over and at the end of it all they usually say "I'm not sure what all of that means...". We have one that doesn't know how to enact an email attachment - keeps sending us reams of photocopies ffs!!

I do the same, give them specs for a PDF. Anything else just leads to more trouble, which usually means
more work for me. :angry:

seems like any way you slice it, it's "TL;DR" and you get what you get.

The correct answer is a hammer to the head

[Farabomb]

Your own or the salesman's?

Oh, yeah, I have a PDF with specs on it. They just don't know what all those funny letters refer to. And half the time or maybe all the time they don't send the PDF to clients.
When they do, it's mixed results. I've had a customer send our vector template back to us as a TIFF.  I asked for new art and they explained that was an approved format. It was on the list, near the bottom of course. I finally just told the sales person to ask for the native file, I finally got a Illy CS6 file

I think the best breakdown I've been party to was about ten years ago at a Cracker Barrel in New Jersey.

The waitress took our orders and we didn't see her for about half an hour -- no drinks, nothing.

The place was crazy-busy, so we figured something was up.  Finally we flagged down another waitress and asked her where ours had disappeared to.

A few minutes later, an apologetic manager approached us and said that our waitress was in his office, having a nervous breakdown!  :shocked:

Needless to say, we did not pay for that meal...

Oh, wait -- wrong kind of breakdown??  :cheesy:

Cheers, John

Yep, living and working in Jersey can easily cause breakdowns.

having a nervous breakdown! 

 :laugh:  They come and go. I'm way overdue. Almost lost it last week. Just waiting for the right moment.

The woman had one Friday and I can't say I blame her. Seems some piece of shit where she works decided to (guys, you may want to stop reading) mutilate a client's penis. This client has be targeted before, someone drew a swastika on his neck. Now seems they are escalating it. He required 7 stitches to close the 2 cuts. Who does shit like that?

Are they hiring?

I think there is openings in the food service area but you really don't want to work there. It's a historical institution that goes back centuries. I'm pretty sure the GF's cottage is cursed.

Of course becasue it's on prime real estate so the historical aspect means nothing to the ever advancing "progress", Never mind the best interest of the clients.
