The Daily Ping

For some reason I thought I’d post another spam I received… it just seems like fun for everyone.

If A Total Consulting Service needs data consolidated in a more manageable and accessible form, then it’s in your best interest to attend. If you cannot find or keep information that is vital to the success of A Total Consulting Service then this seminar could greatly streamline your operations.

I found it extremely funny that they managed to get my e-mail address 100% correct, but attached it to someone totally different. Even funnier: the topic of the spam is CRM (Customer Relations Management).

My response to Mr. Queern:

Jacob — First rule of CRM: get your customer’s name right. Or at least in the ballpark.
