Ha Ha, we're going thru an ERP replacement evaluation with 2 potential suppliers, during the review I pulled off a "can you go back to the previous slide"
Those only work with dumbasses around you. “ I’m not sure what these numbers mean,” and sit back. You’ve bought yourself almost an entire meeting of appearing smart —> will get you a dumbass badge in my field I like the “this may sound like a dumb question, but...” during telecons. Sure thing it’s something to try to pin your side against the wall.
I work with some people that use those stupid techniques. They all make a person look like either a boot licker or a dumb ass. Probably the most annoying one is repeating what the last person said slowly. That doesnt make a person look smart. It makes it look like their pea sized brain can't absorb what the last person said.
I may have finally found the phrase that will get me on the unemployment line.. "It's so easy even an executive could do it."
Can we get some more detail around this? I'd like to get as granular as possible so we can create a win-win for company and customer. I'll ping you to set up some time.
My calendar is up to date, I think we can have a stimulating conversation and really get some good synergies off the ground.
I think that we can leverage some cross-departmental collaboration and achieve a really good outcome.

They have to justify their ridiculous salaries and bonuses somehow. Because they sure as shit don't actually add 100-1000 times the value to the company that their compensation suggest
"Let's assemble a cross-functional team" Well, no shit. Why the hell would you want to gather a bunch of people together that think exactly the same way?
