If it weren't time sensitive stuff, I'd agree with you entirely.

Average thoroughput is about 25 deals a month per person. Doubling up means a few things - folks/accounts get ignored... and we end up prioritizing either consciously or subconsciously.. easiest deals would probably get taken care of first so as to hit our 'required' numbers, and then there would be a group of difficult folks that would take up a good block of our time.

End game I see the more time consuming and or difficult deals 'saved' and then built up possibly for a larger problem down the road.
