John hated being called a salesman. He was a "biz dev" guy or better yet, an entrepreneur, maybe even a visionary. Most of all, though, he was a showman, someone who wanted to live in the limelight. His student days as "ents officer" were always close at hand. And there was that glint in his eye when name-dropping celebrity chums or clients, like the band Massive Attack. Yes, the world has definitely lost more than just a salesman.
