Of course you’re right.  Knowledge of what’s going on with (and in) the customer and prospect is critical to a successful business.  I couldn’t find an analogy that realted the customer with the whole military thing, though.  Civilians, the only real thrid party, don’t work because they have no power.

In any event.  I concur with your thoughts and I wish I could have made them fit.

Thanks
