Wow- and I thought it was weird and inappropriate when I got a linkedin message from a MongoDB rep basically saying "Hey! I'm the account manager for your company so let me know if you need help with anything Mongo related!" (subtext being, how can I convince you to use (more) mongo services on your project)
- soared 6y agoI mean the job of an account manager is supporting the client. I don’t know how you can contort that into something to be mad about.
- SilasX 6y agoBecause they didn’t contact the user through the channel the user authorized the sales rep to content them through. Same as if (in the old days) they looked up your home number from the phone book and called you at home instead of at the work number you gave them.
- briman314 6y agoNo doubt that's the subtext but this happens EVERYWHERE. Have you ever downloaded a whitepaper for any vendor and then get harrassed with 4-5 times about talking about it? That sounds gentle in comparison. I would use the opportunity to ask for free swag or training if it was possible. :)
