Salesforce.com or Pavlov: You decide

Journalists tend to generate a lot of dog references by the public. Lapdog, bulldog, bloodhound, you get the picture...

But here's another description to throw into the mix: Pavlov's Dog.

The saliva content in the newsroom usually hits the high water mark when the Salesforce.com press kits arrive, historically bearing chocolate.

But today, a lot of saliva went to waste. The Salesforce press kits arrived, touting the company's Summer '07 release, but no chocolate. Instead, a small, white box of mints came with the delivery.

Do you think the mints address dog breath?

Salesforce.com bribes the Media

How original. You get a publicly traded company bribing journalists and bloggers with chocolate, mints, USB drives, etc to write about them!

Meanwhile better on-demand CRM vendors such as Netsuite, Salesboom.com, Entellium , etc don't even get 1% of media the coverage!

Wow!
