I agree that would be a very real risk in lots of organizations. Luckily it was me he was offering the entertainment to on this occasion! I tend to be a bit more canny with these people, but he rather pushed me too far when he said, 'I'm not sure you understand the difference between hosted solutions and true cloud products', like I was making a huge mistake. It is a bad ploy with me to tell me I am wrong in not buying his product, because I don't have the mental capacity to recognize its advantages. For balance I told a MS NAV partner who was pushing the 'nobody gets fired for buying MS' angle, that I wouldn't even let MS on my home PC, so he better concentrate on what the product does. I'm in a curious position in my current role of being across finance and tech, and you are correct this may not be a good ploy for others in more conventional roles.
