In 1992, as a young management trainee, I must have seemed like a handful for all my trainers at Unilever. I questioned everything – why do we have to go to the back of beyond for our sales training (in my case it was Gorakhpur), why do we need to stay in hotels that salespeople stay in – after all we were managers! Why couldn’t I pay from my own pocket and upgrade to a better hotel etc etc etc. The list of questions was endless. But my trainers, including my sales Guruji – Devgupt Vishwanath – patiently explained each one of them. This story from Prakash Iyer (as all of you know is one of my favourite business storytellers) shares this story about one such lesson he was taught by his trainer – John Aravamutham.
