This business engineer spent more time golfing than TRUMP

It is well known that TRUMP plays golf very often, he also cheats a lot which is very bad. Since his inauguration in 2017, he has visited a golf course 262 times.

Here in France, we have few presidents who play the white ball, yet golf is enjoying a certain popularity, particularly among commercial executives. Yes, it's easy to put the golf bag in the Audi and play between two meetings. Well, that's the myth because between the commercial offers to make when returning to the hotel in the evening, the business lunches which drag on and the kilometers traveled it's still difficult in a day to find 4 hours to make a journey, even for a good salesperson.

That was before ! Indeed, Gonzague*, a business engineer in an industrial company in the Lyon region, discovered golf with a colleague during an integration seminar. At the beginning he thought he would progress quickly, unfortunately he didn't have time to practice and without training his index peaked at around 30.

For 4 months, his index has fallen below 20.

  spreadsheet software with a green The little time he had between 2 customer meetings was taken to check the PV (Sales Price), call the design offices to see if they had forgotten anything on the technical part and rewrite the offers commercial. No time to putter or driver on the course, even less to practice approaches, the most important phase of the game of golf.

 

But 4 months ago, the company implemented new price research software with a sky blue logo and there, Gonzague's amateur golf career brightened. Indeed, the new tool centralizes and organizes the data and it's a change from the Gloubi-boulga he knew in his spreadsheet. In addition, Gonzague can generate a commercial offer in a few clicks and he no longer has to wait for the BE data which has been integrated into the software from the start of its implementation.

Certainly his index is still very far from that of D. Trump (2.8) but Gonzague can say that he did it without cheating.

*Gonzague is an assumed name.
