Visit from Bruce Kendall

I wrote in my last blog post about Brian North, and how our next guest speaker was going to be more successful than him. I was right. He had mentioned that his company had to cast a huge net in order for him to get some clients to work with. I can't remember exactly, but he said the hit rate was something around 1/50. I thought that was crazy low. To be able to be denied that many times, even to make the effort to contact so many companies for a really low chance of actually working with them is just crazy to me. But I guess when they actually manage to connect with a company, all their efforts are rewarded. I don't think I could work in a business like that. That level of coordination and determination just seems to wild to me. But I guess entrepreneurs do crazy things that normal people would deem crazy. Guess I'm a normal person haha.
