The salespeople in the UK are using that tactic too? If a sales rep EVER walked into my office and fed me a line like that, I would end the meeting right there. As it is, I refuse to do business with Cisco not because of their products, but because of their marketing department and their corporate attitude of "We're the best, nobody can touch us, and if you want to buy our product you better bend over backwards to do what we want you to do." That was their attitude three years ago when our company was just getting started, and I haven't noticed it change much today.
No. I think the phrase *actually* used at a meeting (I was elsewhere that day) was "It is a priveledge to deal with a market leader like Cisco." This was the Cisco sales rep, not us. sigh. Buy! Buy! Bye Bye. :-P Regards, -- Peter Galbavy peter () wonderland org @ Home phone://44/973/499465 in Wonderland http://www.wonderland.org/~peter/ snail://UK/NW1_6LE/London/21_Harewood_Avenue/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
