“The people on the team may not need to work again.”
I used to work with the main sales guy for the 787, back when he was an engineer in the Flight test calibration Lab.
I’m sure he is retired by now as am I.
While I have 5 acres with an ocean view in Hawaii, he probably has 50 and only spends winter here.

Yep. That sums it up.

I saw quite a few Big Dogs who could score like that. The Pareto Rule was always at work — the top 20% really carried the day with the majority of sales. The bottom 20% were gone every year. It was always amazing to watch how easy the top guys made it look, but they worked like dogs. The bottom guys could never figure it out. And all the folks in the middle made an ok living.
