Le Boulot

Same job, different employer.
A small software company that has a series of good ideas but isn't sure how to sell them to the world. In this case, it's a crossover software, somewhere between Search and Business Intelligence. Will the idea fly? The existing salesman isn't sure about it, and he certainly isn't giving any clues about how successful he thinks we will be.

I guess that I'm in the trough. The first few days with an employer are spent in euphoria, knowing that you've got a decent job, that the money will be coming in, and that there is potential to do well. Then, after a few days, the bad points become apparent and a tinge of despair arrives to colour on'e opinion. After a while, one becaomes accustomed to both the bad and good points, and an acceptance arrives.

Now, I'm waiting for the results of some field sales visits, and I will know what the potential customers think.
