@seekingtruth94 I've had this happen in real life, where the sales team sold something that didn't exist.
Only problem was, they sold it to a major customer as though it
did exist, and without telling anyone in charge of services or product. They asked for concept images from marketing, and then directly turned around and showed them to the customer as proof we had the thing.
After the customer signed on the dotted line, the other teams then had only a year -- when product management had said they'd really need three years -- to produce this thing as a "whitelabel version of your own product, so why do you even need a year?"
All while the responsible salespeople collected their commission and got to pass the mess off to someone else.
Thankfully, COVID got me laid off before it ever hit my plate, but I never heard how it turned out.
My point is, if you're going to follow this philosophy, you better make
damn sure you're able to execute... And that you always tell the truth to the customer, however you want to pretty that up.
TL;DR: Don't sell something with your alligator mouth that your canary ass can't back up.
