It's appropriate to try to handle things privately, as you and your director obviously did. After so many attempts though, I think a public message like this is beneficial to others of us in the industry.<br /><br />Easygenerator is the company I avoid, for very similar sales practices to what you mentioned. Their sales person wasn't able to have a normal human conversation that didn't involve a sales pitch.<br /><br />I always feel like companies who need to push so hard to sell their product probably aren't selling anything worthwhile. If you have a great product or service, often people will just talk about how wonderful it is naturally. Look how people rave about Storyline and do their marketing for them. The Articulate team does a lot of work to build and maintain a community, of course. That community is focused on making their *users* awesome, instead of being focused on telling everyone how awesome their *product* is. Grovo would do well to pay attention to Articulate's success.Christy Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682401510197623222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491705545569706341.post-44916913438642935302016-03-24T10:33:04.392-07:002016-03-24T10:33:04.392-07:00UPDATE:
