Sexual Clout and Business

Friday, March 10, 2006

You keep playin where you shouldn't be playin. You keep thinkin that you'll never get burnt.

Hey!

I was speaking with a very Hot Brazillian friend who never finished college but runs a successful corporate events company. She described how she was discouraging a male acquiantance from getting into the business even though he had an Ivy league MBA and incredible corporate credentials.

She said he had no sexual clout with his client base because they're mostly hetero male decision makers. Therefore the Pretty Women in the field would get all the business. She gave me example after example about how she used her "Hotness" as a power tool to lead her prospects like puppies and convince them to give her the business. According to her, the only way he could succeed was if he created BrokeBack Mountain Corporate Events, LLC. and catered to gay executives.

So my question is - Does sexual clout always have a very significant role in growing a business?
