Regardless of this fact being conveyed to the vendors, there is still a push that I consider the products simply because its "the latest thing in the market" and will "slash your licensing costs by 70%"<br /><br />Given that Fiji is such a small place, I can understand that getting an ICT business to stay afloat can be a little challenging but if you're going to push too hard, nothing will happen. There is a particular ICT solutions provider here from India who hounds people at social events and tries to do business on the spot. That sort of behavior leaves a bad impression particularly when they start demanding your mobile number and email address.<br /><br />Marketers need to understand that while they have an idea to sell for revenue, there is a need to acquire the "get the hint" skill and use it appropriately. While we haven't yet started being inundated with "spam" ideas, etc. I sense it is only a matter of time when I will have the same issues as you and will need to really get serious about the email inflow.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802565755032856177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-42668116836508257072011-04-26T15:24:37.086-07:002011-04-26T15:24:37.086-07:00I have two email accounts.

Only I'm getting a lot of BS after attending a couple of conferences . <br /><br />It would be interesting to take Doc Searls VRM work at Harvard and apply it to business email. Hmmm, I'm sensing a business opportunity.Bruce Fryerhttp://www.protohit.comnoreply@blogger.com
