Tratum Technologies
Lisa writes: "Suresh from Tratum Technologies phoned; he is interested in a technical partnership. 07977 487 214. Please call him back. I reply: "Hmm. Have done. I got an answerphone message after a long ringout and left a message inviting him to email me. So that was followed a few seconds later by a callback ("I just missed a call from this number".) Suresh's idea of a "technical partnership" is that his company writes software offshore for us in a country where labour is cheaper so that we don't actually have to employ programmers to cover our peaks and troughs .... much more of a cold sales call that a partnership if you ask me. I suggested that to make it truely a partnership, he should also consider using our services to have his people trained, but he seemed strangley disinterested in the idea. When I suggested that his call was misleading - that this was really just a sales call - he sheepishly admitted it. Once I asked him for his credit card details so that I could charge him for our wasted time, he told me he had a call coming in on another line and hung up to take it." We get a lot of telephone calls trying to sell us things and Lisa is excellent at weeding them out - but just occasionally one is sufficiently obscured for it to get through the net. We're in a business where companies we cooperate with and companies we compete with can be very hard to differentiate, so it pays to err on the side of safety occasionally and follow up on some questionable calls. But congratulations to Suresh from Tratum Technologies for getting me to return his offshore outsourcing misleading sales call! (written 2007-08-21 16:34:37)
