With all due respect this kind of behavior makes me heave. Don't get me wrong. Trustworthy relationships are essential, after all people buy from people. But buying privilege with dinners and fake friendship is not a way to build a trusting relationship. Business needs to be conducted on merit not on who has the largest expense account. Yep, I'm an naive idealist, but my definition of success includes retaining my integrity. By the way the way to flummox expense account driven salespeople is to always buy them lunch when they come to pitch to you. Messes with their reciprocity training.
