Just one example. The Mormon mission program is quite possibly the best sales training program in the world. If you can go door to door in a country that isn't your own, in a second language, selling religion then enterprise SaaS is really a breeze. (Note I am not Mormon)

Selling eternal salvation to the poor will always be easier than selling another support tool to a procurement person spending someone else's money and probably with one eye on a new job.

Not sure where you're getting the idea a procurement person is making any sort of buying decisions for enterprise products within a business.

There is/was a significant Mormon contingent in the Ruby community, all the way up to Matz.

I've worked with a lot of Mormons in tech. You may have too and not realized it. In my experience, they tend to not put an emphasis on it, it's a more private thing.

I meant the pharma company in SLC.

Ah, I didn't know it was a company name, I thought it was a slightly confusing comment about computer science.

It does to me.

Their support system and rigid structure is unparalleled for such a large scale in the US. Their funding church is very wealthy, and the discipline churns out people that are very effective in high growth industries, which is just a convenient side effect relevant right now.
