I don't do sales. :) No doubt we have all met those people that speak with authority, yet have none at all and those with timid voices relaying solid information. I've found that immaturity is in no way indicative to intelligence nor knowledge, but instead with maturity by itself. I also believe that truth is without circumstance, so under no circumstance would a truthful statement be miraculously deemed false or discredited. A clown or a professor, doesn't change the facts, just how you feel which is a flaw in character if you ask me.
