Jenkins) Newsgroups: comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d Subject: Re: Re: Looking for person advertising free sales tracking software Message-ID: Date: 5 Feb 91 22:39:28 GMT Sender: news@wang.com Organization: Wang Image Peripherals - Fax Group Lines: 44 No, Ron, we haven't been toyed with. (If we're talking about the same thing) We have just been victims of the new American work ethic. It isn't sales tracking so much as communications/call back tracking. I too called that company. They gave me the name of a local company to call. From the local company I got squat too. The limited time only free "personal" version is a crippleware version of a comercial product with many more features. The crippled ("personal") version is OK but would be GREATLY enhanced by being a pop-up TSR. SURPRISE!! The $$$ version can go TSR and more. My boss' boss (who lives in NH) was given another "local" distributer and THEY actually came through. It was a limited time promotional thing and, during that time frame, they encouraged sharing it with friends. So even though the bozos that I called did nothing. I got it. I guess that the local distributors were less than motivated to spend time/money on potential future sales. (I guess they don't believe in advertising.) I suspect that the company would be interested to know that they got very limited cooperation from their distributors. The dialer/call back queue comes with the company as a default entry: Automated Support Voice Lib. Remote Control International Publishers of TeleMagic Softw. 5928 Pascal Ct. Carlsbad, CA 92008 Fax: 1-619-431-4006 Phone: 1-619-431-4270 (Automated help line) The following text was clipped from their displayed text: (Thank you Windows) "This copy of the "Personal" version is free ONLY during a special promotion in the period between October 29, 1990 and December 25, 1990. This promotion is intended to show businesspeople just how easy it is to use TeleMagic, and to acquaint them with our company and the other versions of TeleMagic (the ones we SELL) which can help them in their business." S.O.P.: I do not work for them or even know them, etc. My views are not Wang's views, etc.
