Sorry to disapoint you ...
We are a company small enough so that no side of the company is really far
from anybody.
Almost all our customers are private companies ready to jump to your
competitor if he is better or cheaper than you.
Or sometimes just because he feels like it, even if your product is far
better
I've learned about all that visiting customers and factories throughout the
world to understand prospects and customers needs.
I can assure you that investing unsuccessfully, in order to try to turn a
prospect in a customer, is not that uncommon.

I'll be curious to know what's your job, and how close you are of the
business side, to think otherwise ...
