I get to deal with thier empty promises and poor products daily. I am getting to the point where I am going to start conversations like a co-worker often does: "We want some of <product> to test on a no cost P.O. If it doesn't suck, you'll get our blessing and massive amounts of case as we buy more. If it barfs shit, we are going to tell all of our business partners that you equipment sucks, then use vendor <pick one> instead" Sorry had to vent. Vendors suck. (Sometimes you get great ones! But they are few and far between) Moral of the story? Train your sales force ont he stuff they are selling. He/She should damn well be able to answer questions you may have inteligently or at least know where to get the answers. -- Ben Lutgens Cell: 651.387.9065 Home: 651.703.9541 Backup not found: (A)bort (R)etry (T)hrowup ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
