I think (from personal observation) that people who deal with risk are often considered over zealous and very pessimistic… and I know I’ve been accused of not seeing the bigger picture… i.e. needing sales for the company to survive.
On the flip side, when we mutter ‘a sale is only a sale once the money is securely paid into the bank’ you’re essentially talking to yourself as they’ve buggered off by that point or closed their mind to any further discussion
