What they are doing now isn't cheap. They don't really have any

Makes it even worse.
First you have to prove the malfeasance of the board members who are
getting kickbacks from those salesmen, or prove a conflict of interest.
It's usually there.
Might be just the free lunches at nice eateries the winning salesmen
lavish on the right board members.
Might be the salesman is a friend of a very good friend.
But it's probably there.
That's how bad systems come about.
Could be they are all just incompetent to make such decisions.
That would be a lucky coincidence, because then you have a chance to
sell them a decent system on an honest basis.
That probably means tossing all the other systems out.
You'll make a lot of friends.
Good luck.
Try to stay a decent man when you get into marketing.

Jim - I gave up sales when honesty didn't work. Bass-o-matic.
