Yair Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 QUOTE (martin@aerodynamics @ Jun 5 2008, 02:24 PM) are you sure that you did't get those LabVIEW training mails because of your CLAD test result For what it's worth, I got two of them (recommending that I take some courses "based on my results") even though I didn't actually take the exam - I only clicked the link and I don't think I even got to the first question.

It really seemed like a good idea, but you guys are making me reconsider it. When I read this I started to think about the "Paper Clip" Whould it be nice if NI added it in LabVIEW http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_06_2008/post-941-1212705172.png' target="_blank"> Cheers, Mikael Quote Link to comment

Anders Björk Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 In Sweden they sometimes call to after one have been looking at some webinar or checked the preliminary price for some equipment. I try to be proactive to look at new thing before I really need them. Another thing is that since I am work for research institute we need approximate prices for grant application that may take 6-12 month before we get the decision. I feel it like this is the curse of the Information age. I think they should treat the web the same as their paper catalog. Quote Link to comment
Phillip Brooks Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I just recieved an NI email about training (Ugh!) and noticed the link at the bottom to update my profile. I decided to look at my profile a bit closer. I wonder of the communications settings might put an end to receiving these types of calls? I just change Phone to "No". Quote Link to comment

I'm a big fan of Seth Godin, who preaches such principles. I try hard to follow these principles at JKI with our various product development and marketing efforts. Quote Link to comment

Right: it's all about perceived value - NI thinks that their call to you provides you with a opportunity that you'll value. Personally, I don't mind cold-calls, as long as the person behind them has done their research, which means a higher potential of their service offerings to be valuable to me. Quote Link to comment
Tim_S Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I just had a NI salesman call me. I asked if there was a way to put a note such that I wouldn't receive the calls anymore; he was able to add "a note into my file" so that I wouldn't receive such calls anymore (this time it was from creating a couple of "what-if" carts via the website).
