annoying email
This unsolicited note in my inbox this afternoon:
Beth,
According to my research, it looks like you and your organization are in a great position to leverage web-based collaboration solutions. Business benefits you can expect include reducing travel costs and increasing revenue, profitability and productivity.
Do you have a moment to set up a brief discussion about your business needs? Please reply with a date and time.
Kind regards,
[name deleted to protect guilty]
Director, Customer Success
I’m sorry, name, but your research appears to be faulty, as I (and generally my colleagues) actually wouldn’t really be appropriate customers for your product. Unless by “research” you really meant “harvesting of emails from ppl who have ever been required to enter email/name data while attending a conference using your product and aren’t currently customers.”
