There is also the fact that you know they are gonna ask how big your company is, how much you make, and give you a price according you how much they think you can afford. That's why whenever a sales guy asks me those questions, I tell him we are poor :-)
Snake -----Original Message----- From: Ken Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2006 15:15 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Intranet suite I always feel like a company who forces me to speak with a sales rep to see what they have to offer is not very confident in their product's ability to sell itself. They know they need to put on the pressure if anyone's going to actually buy it, so they're not about to let you see it without someone there to apply that pressure. I think it usually comes down to that or to pure laziness, neither of which makes me want to get into business with an organization. ***************** Ken Ferguson 214.636.6126 ***************** Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) wrote: > You should at least have a set of screenshots/flash demos for > potential customers. > > > > > > "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Oriel House, 26 The Quadrant, > Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DL, United Kingdom), a division of Reed > Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.
