CRM - buyer beware
I was talking to a salesman the other day about a sale he’s working on. We discussed his potential client’s requirements, and I asked him what pricing he was putting forward. The figure he came up with was considerably less than I would have expected, and considerably less than I figured it would take to implement a good system. When I asked how the figure had been worked out, the salesman explained that there were a number of companies bidding, and his proposal was geared to what he felt the customer was going to be comfortable paying.
