A story often repeated which illustrates the preeminence of the sales story in product distribution as opposed the secondary consideration of commercial viability and merit of the enterprise as a business enterprise. This is downside of the IB/D business. The very same mistakes are repeatedly made. and internal b/d opposition is considered as anti-product distribution the IB/D bread and butter. This is why advisory services with higher consumer protection will eclipse product sales/distribution.
