Bad look. You'd think a tech company of that magnitude would have a firm understanding of how the internet works. Secrets don't exist anymore, and public relations/corporate image are more important than ever.

So AMAZON develops a product and hires salespeople who are expected to sell it. The product has a limited audience due to its nature and cost. The salesperson successfully gets a meeting with a major target end user. The salesperson is the bad guy? He or she may have been working on that appointment for months. Should they have canceled?
I don't get this logic path. If AMAZON is embarrassed by the product they developed they should cancel the program. Any and all technology can be used for good or bad.

So meetings between large organizations and tech companies are commonplace, most come to nothing, to the chagrin of salespeople. But they are valuable for end users because it gives them insights into what is being offered.
When I run into a large company conducting these kind of meetings with everyone & their brother - I tell them which products we use and then give them a link to IPVM with the suggestion that if they want to check out various manufactures, before they spend quantum time on 2hr and 3hr meetings, they should research them through IPVM. This, I tell them, will help then narrow down which vendors they give their time to and make better use of the meeting time as they'll already have a pretty good idea what each one can/can't do, financial strength, any weaknesses etc.
It also allows me to save my time and move onto a sales call with some potential to close. Most of the time, the users are appreciative and will call me again with questions so it establishes me as their trusted "go to" for security information. Win/win.
