There is a specific cybersecurity company that tries to bribe me with different swag every day on instagram to get pitched, and it’s pretty wild marketing - especially given the terrible swag at RSA this year. Like one day they show a Patagonia bag and the next Yeti mugs, just trying new images until I cave.
Eric Neustadter (e)@hacks4pancakes the terrible culture of sales via bribery gets worse every single day in my inbox.
@thevowel I mean I’ll accept a certain level of sales bribery but it has to be the right bribery. Amazon gift cards are solid

@hacks4pancakes @thevowel I've been brutally honest with some of them.. The old “Look, I’ll listen to your pitch, and I expect to get the cool bribe you're tempting me with, but I'll be up front. There is absolutely no chance you'll get a sale. Zero chance. Still game?”
Surprisingly, a bunch of them say yes.. So I get free stuff for watching a demo of a product I'll never use.. *shrug*
