Al, That's funny. A long time ago, I worked for a large company. They re-organized the sales territories and I was given some new accounts. I visited them with the old sales rep, and at one, the manager took my card, turned it over, and started to write on it. I asked him what he was writing. He said: "Today's date. I want to see how long you're going to be with the company." I was gone within a couple of months.

I've got a little award on my desk from a previous employer that says "Something to Believe In" along with a date on it. They wanted us to believe they would still be in business on that date. Instead, within three years they were bought by First Union Bank who merged later with Wachovia. If you know which banks suffered during the financial meltdown and how their issues were resolved you might understand why I keep this award as a reminder to think for myself. 8) No matter what happens to the companies and product lines we support, always beware of marketing hype. Some of it is too positive and some is too negative. We will see how this works out anyway. This cartoon goes into my folder of 'appreciation' awards, but I think cash-value is expecting too much. I just want the stories I need for my resume, future job interviews, and other sales pitches. I already know how to turn the stories into cash. 8) -al -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Brock, Anne Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 1:59 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: OT: Dilbert RE: huh? financial news for bmc ?
