doing sales calls

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.09.04

I've been making sales calls to ISP's across the country to try to drum up some business. It's interesting work, though I wouldn't be able to do it for a lifetime.

One thing that really strikes me is the incredible variety of companies that call themselves ISP's. Some simply provide dial-up or high-speed connectivity to residential clients. Some *only* do stuff like server co-location for big corporate hosts.
