Lest you think that only no-name amateur-hour numbskulls
engage in cold-calling come-on spam (like the
one I reported on last week), I assure you that actual employees of
legitimate companies do it, too.
For example, here’s one I got from Tableau
Software, clearly courtesy of LinkedIn:
Now, in fact, my company does deploy Tableau’s
data visualization application, but I have no need for it. Moreover, I’m not in
IT, nor does my LinkedIn profile in any way imply that I do. So for the life of
me I cannot imagine what Adam w/Tableau thought his email would accomplish.
From his LinkedIn profile (with a lot
of sales jobs), it appears he sent this a month or two after he moved to Tableau.
Maybe he sent the same, sadly incoherent email to lots of my colleagues in
hopes of upping the number of user licenses.
I dunno, but this kind of thing is not a good
look for a company that’s supposed to be a leader in business intelligence.
