Hi, I just thought I would add something here:
Ipswitch ever since we purchased our first Imail server has always referred us to their gold partner when we downloaded their evaluation products. They have done this for at least two years. Have worked for a sales company in the past it all depends on your marketing structure. If you want to hire the sales people and actively call everyone all over the world that downloads eval or do you want to build products and focusing on customer support. You could cut out the middle guy out and forget about the resellers. I am just thinking this Ipswitches marketing strategy that's all. My two sents. :) Allen Armstrong > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt > Sent: December 29, 2004 11:07 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] FW: Ipswitch ICS evaluation > > Only a scumbag company would distribute your information to other > companies for marketing purposes as a result of a trial download of a > $6,000 piece of software.
