We were in similar circumstances when our sales rep left the company with no notice but BMC was much proactive in our case. Within a matter of a few days, we met the sales manager (he flew out from Texas) who officially informed us of the change and assigned an inside sales rep to work with us until a new rep was hired. Our impression was that the overall transition was relatively smooth despite the initial email rejections. Note that previous transitions were not so smooth, this one was a definite improvement.

Nobody notified us, his emails just bounced back, his phone numbers gave errors, and there was no indication that we no longer had a sales rep. Is this a common occurrence with BMC now? Based on the difficulties we've had dealing with BMC both from the training side, the support side and now from the sales side, I'm wondering what the future is of the company. I haven't heard any rumors of either BMC being looked at for a purchase by a larger company or of BMC looking to sell off Remedy, but they don't seem to be acting like a company that seeks to grow their software sales or maintain existing customers. Is my company the only one having these types of issues or is this a widespread problem? Oh, and a P.S. - Despite these problems, some vendors are even worse. There is another application I support where the tickets are closed out without the vendor ever even responding to me, and where it appears they lost any record of us paying them for support. I know there is much worse than what BMC is doing right now, but the Remedy suite is my bread and butter and I want to see it grow rather than decline due to bad corporate decisions.
