Dictionary: Golf Induced Recommendations

15th August 2018 By Greg Ferro Filed Under: Dictionary

As a “normal” business practice, someone plays golf with someone else and then solution request mirror the vendor who paid for the golf.

Its highly unethical but, hey, the Enterprise IT sales process has never been a nice place.

Note: playing golf is a highly inefficient use of employee time for both vendors and customers. Who wants to spend that many hours just to discuss a solution. Wheesh!

    Source [here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/966p6t/the_golf_induced_recommendations_and_subsequent_q/), as interpretation of the reddit OP intent may be misconstrued in this blog post.

      I don’t normally link to inspirations for these pieces for that reason. But since you make a point of it, why not.
