The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Craig Klein no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q built it for the past 15 years. There's no incentive for you to do anything with it because you're making money from it. You live a healthy life. You're comfortable. You're happy. Uh, how do you make a decision if someone comes to you and says, hey, we'll pay you five times your annual revenue, right? To buy the company. How do you decide on a yes or no decision?

A Well, first of all, you know, I'm, I'm not that old, but I'm trying to get out of it, and I think that we, um, we have a lot of things that we want to do. You know, um, the, the world's changing a lot. It's changed a lot in the 15 years we've been doing this, and, uh, our mission has always been to help salespeople be better at building long-term relationships with their customers. And, uh, I see tons of opportunity to, to add capabilities in our system to help salespeople do that. I also see the sales world is changing radically, right? Um, and so it's, if I were buying a CRM right now, I would be pulling my hair out because there's so many options and how do you know what the future is going to look like next year? You know, um, We see some, uh, opportunities to integrate with, uh, telephony and do some things with mobile, uh, things like that, that, uh, can really do some new things. So the sales person is not really using the tool anymore. They're just doing their job.

AI assessment note: “we have a lot of things that we want to do.”
