I've just started reading your blog and could not agree with you more. I've always seen a sales methodology like a foundation for a home- It's critical to the strength of the home but in terms of how the home ends up looking, well that's all up to the designer/ builder. Same with sales- Although methodologies may seem restrictive to a sales staff, each person still has the creative opportunity to build there own house (sales style) with its own, unique look.
