Oracle always does high pressure high priced sales. It does not catch up with them generally. They push their customers hard and there has always been backlash but then Oracle adjusts slightly so it is still high pressure, high priced, but not too high.
I sort of respect them from a sales perspective, they push it to the margin on the sales front. From a pure sales perspective, few are as good as Oracle for extracting value from their customers. I am not that ballsy personally and it isn't my style but I am not anywhere as financially as successful as Oracle.
- suyash 8y agoOracle has the best technical sales people for a reason.
- Annatar 8y agoEven if that were true, which is highly debatable, what does that statement have to do with Oracle's high pressure sales tactics, and what does it have to do with them destroying the Solaris and SPARC market?
- skookumchuck 8y agoORCL did not participate in the tech rally of the last couple years. I think their tactics have caught up with them.
