While it might seem ingracious for a competing company to explicitly state this, it doesn't mean it isn't true, or even obvious. And if it is the case, it's definitely something you want to both know and base your decision on.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI agree. Still, there's a difference between saying that our competitors fail in this-and-this way, while we have managed to avoid their mistakes, and our competition sucks while we're special. Calling them "FooCorps's of the world" isn't nice either. I'm not trying to nit-pick here, it's the whole tone of the letter that irks me. That letter feels devoid of any factual comparison with competitors while still managing to insult them. I tend to steer away from companies that give such messages.
- hundt 12y agoYou seem to believe the point of the email was to convince Joseph that Acme was better than FooCorp. I suspect that Joseph already knew that, and the Acme CEO knew that Joseph knew that, and the point of the CEO's email was to put the price difference in context of the increased value given that Acme was better.
