do we need a pusher/seller/rainmaker?
russell: Yes.  I infer that you are a little on the introverted side and need an extrovert.  But you don't want someone perceived as pushy as in car salesman type.  You said "guy", but I highly recommend thinking female.  If you need CEO chest thumping, maybe a guy.  For mid-level decision makers, I think women do better.  In any case technical savvy is a must.
