To play the devil's advocate: that German guy didn't lick up enough, he was too selective, if he had licked everybody those few days, he would have gotten the contract.

- r00fus 14y agoJust an anecdote - back over a decade ago during my consulting days, a large client I was working for in France said that when they chose a competitor over Siebel, Tom himself flew down to the client site for the sole purpose (as they said it) to tell them they were idiots for not choosing his product. Flying to a different country just to say FU to a recently lost sale doesn't sound very afffable, and yet, the Siebel product line still exists today (under the Oracle umbrella - but then again, Oracle seems to just like buying out their competitors).
