104.0. "EXPENSES AROUND DECWORLD" by MCIS5::ROSI () Mon Apr 13 1992 17:26

    We all know we have an expense problem but at the same time
    we want to try and create new revenues for the company. I
    am beginning to find locations where customers have registered
    for DECworld, in many cases senior managers, and we are telling
    our sales reps that they can't accompany them because of the
    cost to travel. Does this make sense?

104.1Say it isn't so!PBST::LENNARDTue Apr 14 1992 17:576
    Well, if I was the salesperson who convinced the "senior manager"
    to make the investment in attending DECWorld, I'd be angry,
    embarassed, and demotivated.
    
    If I was the customer I would be ripped.  This isn't really
    happening, is it?

    Unfortunately, it is happening. This is a specific case, I
    can't say if it is a wide spread practice.
