I asked my AI-based assistant, Miss Axe, to recommend a webinar for our software nerds; something that would be wow, brief and value added, so to speak. The automated Miss Axe coughed up an answer in a matter of nano seconds: "Meeting and yet Exceeding Customers Expectations".
The facilitator of the seminar, Julia Julio Delores Sanchez O'Conner, was kind enough to post the free webinar on YouTube; I sent her a WhatsApp asking her to adapt the wow webinar to our specific needs but he said that (s)he must first speak to our head of development, Comrade Karl Marks.
Julio(a) and I discussed the fee for tailoring this webinar, and I suggested that were this to be done gratis, I would put in a plug for her; my guess is that O'Conner is starving to death, so we reached agreement.
However Comrade Karl Marks refused to even speak to the aforementioned consultant. I am attaching his email to me; judge for yourself the (non) validity of his claims.
Gloria,
Kibinimat, you have done it again; you lack even the most primitive knowledge of our business due to your excessive use of AI and the lack of use of your cranial skills. Meeting clients' expectation is as old as Methuselah, who was very old. Ask any preacher. That type of nonsense ended in the 1950's just before Beria was killed by the NKVD.
Software is by nature semi-cooked, and needs years to ripen-much like a banana. Often unsophisticated users are delusional about what to expect. Clients don't have the skills or mindset necessary to admire our products. Pizdiets, we need to talk about managing customer's expectations, not meeting them-you silly girl.
In my long career both is Russia and the USSR, we have 3 tactics of managing customers' expectations: 1) Feigned listening 2) Promises of future functionality OTH and 3) a weekend in Detroit.
I am currently sailing down the Volga, but we will talk when I get back to the office.
Karl
After reading Karl's email, I went down using the executive elevator, and when I exited, lo and behold, Comrade Karl was exiting the car park.
