Anybody has had any major client business related fails. For me an interesting one was we questioning CEO why they have not done (a rather obvious) cross sell to which he actually replied ‘we didn’t get around to it, but that feels like a good idea and an opportunity’ it probably costed the firm about 10-20% in profit p.a. for 10 odd years. I was amazed and horrified at the same time that he said it coz I would have been fired for much less

You’d have been fired for admitting a cross sale you’d been overlooking was a good idea?

Yeah

Hindsight is 20/20. Sounds to me like the CEO was humble enough to acknowledge the merits of the idea instead of coming up with a BS as to why now

Idk I would admire his honesty and lack of ego to admit that response. I may privately question his vision though if something that obvious and impactful wasn’t executed or prioritized. It depends on the situation and organization.
