I agree. When throwing down large amounts of money, I'd be a damn fool not to know who's managing it.
I don't play the cookie cutter slot machines. Drop a coin in and hope for good luck.
Not.
Fact is, if the people I speak with are affable to me, they'll be affable to others, and good business gets done.
If a CEO seems like a beavis or butthead to me, chances are he'll seem the same way to others, and less people will want to do business with him. The less people who'll want to do do business with Mr. Butthead, the less chances my money will make me money, investing in him.
Can it be explained any simpler than that?
