What a strange article.<p>Isn&#x27;t it obvious that somebody with 100 hours of experience will do better than a person with no experience whatsoever?<p>On the other hand, if he&#x27;s claiming that 100 hours is enough time to become competent, then I don&#x27;t agree at all.  It&#x27;s plenty of time to learn and become knowledgeable on a topic, but knowledge alone is useless without the ability to effectively apply it in a useful way, and that only comes from experience.  There&#x27;s just not enough time in 100 hours to get a meaningful amount of experience in a complicated field.<p>His examples of reading some books on sales is just goofy.  Without actually have sold anything his claim that he&#x27;s now 3-4x more effective than a &quot;newbie&quot; sales person is just a joke.  Go sell something, and then come tell us how effective you are.
