Well, today a customer asked me about “a free alternative to Microsoft Office.” I of course responded with praise of OOo (openoffice.org) and went even further to write down Thunderbird and gIMP for them to recommend downloading.. But part of my job is selling software. So I should have said that MS Office was what they needed.. or should I have? I may have earned a customer for life. Always a possibility. What do you think? I am being paid to provide solutions to customers BY SELLING OUR PRODUCTS.

Is it more important to gain a few hundred bucks’ sale or a customer’s trust? What is worth more?
