Dev told us his story will have a heavy dark end and all you guys come up with is that Hutch reaches a level of self confident out of nowhere and can cope with everything and anyone. That's just not going to happen. This story is not about Hutch!
Why would it be convincing if this was for another reason. From a guy who's signing and managing contracts on a daily basis, i would strongly advise you to not have this "idea" if you lost a string of clients. You lost your clients, not because u weren't cuddly enough but bc u weren't watching your competition enough.
Christian told him to shore up all of his customers, not just the two who then left.
The wining and dining is Vivian's idea for the customers, to show the human touch. They are just going to try it out on Christian first, to show him what they mean by it, and that it works. Though of course, that backfires, in a sense...
While some have commented that maybe this hints at Hutch not being very good at his job altogether, I think it is also possible that Christian somehow knew these clients were in jeopardy of being lost (perhaps for reasons outside of Hutch's control) and then informed Hutch about it when it was already too late to retain their business. If that were the case, then this would have set things up to where Christian could blame Hutch for losing the two clients, though not really his fault.
With that being the case, what I just said would not be as much of a possibility, but it still may have been due to factors outside of Hutch's control that those two clients just so happened to take their business elsewhere around the same time.
If your job is to sale things, yes being very succesfull means being huge bc u need a lot of administrative functions (sales, legal, accounting, hr, eventually it). Even for a medium sized company, that'sa lot of people. I remind you the sales room is not very crowded. Christian didn't give a shit about Vivian ideas, he just knew he was gonna use this to hit that.
But we already know that almost all the other business functions are at a different location. So we have literally no idea how big the company is. It's a bit pointless to speculate on the size of the company when we know so little about it. It could be that the vast majority of it is at the other location (maybe there are several other locations?). Literally all we know about the size of it is that we only see the sales function - and corporate sales at that, it's not like individual consumers where they'd need phonebanks manned by dozens of employees.
"Wine&Dine" idea from Vivian has it aim at having diner and wine with Christian at their house for Hutch having the possibility to present the Five-Point plan Vivian researched on the internet and to sell all as Hutch's idea. This way they wanted to convince Hutch's boss that Hutch is willing to do everything to keep his job.
Those things you bullet point are the "wining and dining" part, just not using those words. Vivian says they'll test it on Christian because Hutch knows him - he knows his favourite food, his favourite wine, so they'll wine and dine him to show him the plan in action. It's like he's the test subject for it.
This gives me another idea, what if Christian is doing some shady deals and is hiding the company’s money in a Swiss bank account or money laundering, and only Hitch looks close enough at the contracts to find this but keeps it to himself and makes copies to be the whistleblower for immunity that he and Addison don’t go to jail, but every other employee does, including your cheating wife, or maybe she doesn’t go but she will she go visit Christian in prison for conjugal visits?
You are mixing the wine&dine idea with the five-point plan Vivian worked out for Hutch.
I just reviewed the script and it's more or less the same thing and it's idiotic. Either she 's a total idiot thinking what she says is a good idea or either she thinks so highly of herself to think it'sa remotely good solution. Real world doesn't work like this. Not to mention, inviting your boss to dinner after he basically tells you he would fire youthe next dayis again laughable. guys i like the VN like you, but you are worrying me thinking it's remotely believable situation.
Exactly, she goes by herself in the lion's den, thinking she's got something to add to the table. Hadn't guessed it was just herself.
Wine&dine is not for the customers/clients, it was only planed to persuade Christian.
Really real world...lol! Now saying it's nearly the same though it isn't just reveals that you didn't understood what was going on on day 1.
