Each of us has had some small cut or scratch with, perhaps, a little bleeding. Band-Aids are indispensable for those. Usually, we use them less for stopping the bleeding, rather to prevent further aggravation of the cut and reduce chances for infection. But when the injury is much bigger or deeper, band-aids are insufficient. These usually require more serious wound management treatment–perhaps stitches (my med device clients are shuddering–I mean sutures), surgery, more robust wound

One was a cold call and the other was a cold email. In the first case, the salesperson asked for a first meeting by going hard on the value of their solution. The second salesperson described their value proposition twice in the same cold email.
