    I don't class sales skills as any different to technical ones, a failing in one normally indicates a deficiency in another.

      So much for your powers of discernment.

      Is brain surgeon therefore should have no difficulty in launching a mission to Mars?

      Try paying attention when you speak....you will miss less and learn more.

        If you're going to try and score a cheap shot at least try and make sure your response makes grammatical sense, then at least you wont come across as a fool.

          Also technical skills and sales know how go hand in hand if you're a contractor, last time I looked brain surgery and rocket science were not a common skillset among either of those professions, so your response makes little or no sense (and yes still makes you look like a fool).

            Please feel free to correct my grammar. I 'wont' (won't) hesitate to help you even after I was deeply wounded that you saw my comment as a 'cheap shot'.

            BTW 'try and make' is probably better expressed as try to make.

              If you really believe "technical skills and sales know how go hand in hand if you're a contractor" then you are living the dream!

              You only have to read these pages to see how incorrect your premise is as a general description of contractor attributes.
