- Paul,
-
- Not to slam the C= hardware department (I love the machines), but it seems to
- me that a responsible company wouldn't refer a customer back to a dealer when
- they've just contacted a person within the company. Are you hardware guys cut
- off from the rest of the company? If I was a C= hardware engineer with access
- to the net, I'd be CCing all the new product suggestions through interoffice
- mail envelopes to the head of marketing, not telling a customer to do it
- through a dealer. We all know how lousey communications are between C= and
- dealers. Is your type of attitude endemic throughout C=? Perhaps that's why
- C= shows up in the "Other-10%" section on a pie chart of ownership by machine
- type, i.e. lack of responsiveness to customer requests/suggestions. It's
- probably a good thing I don't work for C=. I'd have someone's head over a
- comment like yours.
