| The other day while at the book store, I
| |
| | unreal.If we think about it, what do
|
| came across some accounting software CDs
| |
| | people actually buy from a garage sale
|
| strewn with other CDs and books in garage
| |
| | box? Most likely something for a hobby,
|
| sale box.How can any self respecting
| |
| | say something you want to learn about but
|
| businessman (even a small one at that)
| |
| | a new book costs a bomb. Maybe a recipe
|
| pick up a copy of this cheap sale
| |
| | book, taichi and of course the fast
|
| accounting CD from the box for his
| |
| | outdated tech books. We're talking about
|
| business to use? He'd think "what type of
| |
| | something 'light' or outdated that ends
|
| accounting system is this that would end
| |
| | up in the garage sale box. Certainly not
|
| up in a garage sale?"...and he's not even
| |
| | for something that's as important as
|
| heard of free software yet! If he did,
| |
| | accounting software for any business to
|
| he'd probably figure "What type of
| |
| | use.Perhaps open source businesses need
|
| software is this that you can just click
| |
| | to emphasize on the word solutions
|
| and get it for free on the Internet?"In
| |
| | instead of free or open source. Package
|
| most cases, this thinking "..what type
| |
| | the software into a decent looking box.
|
| of..?" continues and applies to the
| |
| | Show the customer that there are costs by
|
| person on the other end - the guy
| |
| | itemising, 'software cost' foc, show a
|
| promoting it. It goes "what type of
| |
| | charge for download, copy, packaging,
|
| person are you to promote something that
| |
| | transport and include training, upgrade,
|
| cheap (that ends up in a garage sale box)
| |
| | email, telephone, etc support services,
|
| to me?". It follows "What type of company
| |
| | add them up and show a 'total solutions'
|
| are you representing? Or do you even have
| |
| | cost. Stack the costs up against
|
| a company?"Even small business owners
| |
| | proprietory solutions and very likely
|
| have self respect when they shop for
| |
| | open applications looks a better option
|
| budget items.The guy selling free
| |
| | for the customer. The idea is to show
|
| software tried "No sir. This is open
| |
| | that there is a cost for the solution you
|
| source program, very popular and
| |
| | are selling - just like any other
|
| respectable. Do you know Apache? It's
| |
| | product. The marketing campaign may be
|
| also free.."Businessman "You mean the one
| |
| | capped by putting it as a summer offer -
|
| with war paint on his face fighting
| |
| | normal say USD400 now only USD199.James
|
| Custer in the movie?". Thanks to

| Hollywood, some things just get
| |
| | Information a company providing support
|
| stereotyped.For those of us who promote
| |
| | for content management systems software
|
| open source applications the above
| |
| | and accounting software.
|
| scenario though hilarious, is not
