to sale rep & manufacturer's sale manager especially
if you're dealing with RFMD Sale group in Torrance,
Southern Cal & their distributor Innovation
Sales (the Sirenza line). We do product qualification
for Space & Mil industries. In one particular
job recently, we help to set up spec for burned
in, life & electrical test for a potential customer
to provide them about 2000 parts annually. I ask
for a sample board for a RFMD's particular product
to correlate our test fixture to their. The Sale
Mgr & their rep came to our office to "help"
us out. They asked very detail about my requirements
and my customer. The idea that they might steal
from us did cross my mind then but I thought the
quantity of parts is very small to their size so
I don't think they wouldn't stoop this low. After
delivering the sample board, they disappear and
fail to follow up. It's very odd I thought because
I never met a rep not to follow up. Later I found
out, my customer have gone to them. Very unethical.
I'm tagging their business cards on my wall to remind
me their names & my lesson.

Ouch! In the sixty's the mantra was "Don't trust
anyone over 30". I would bet that these sales guys
were all over 30.
(I am waaayyy over 30, btw) Seriously, I
think that customer information should always be
treated as confidential. This is especially true
if you don't have any sort of contract binding them
to you.
