Sales At It’s Finest Hour

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I believe this Topsec company sounds like it’s going right into the crapper, or at least that’s what Kerna wants me to believe:

Good morning, as you may have heard Topsec Security may be wound down in the near future and have been brought to court by thier Creditors.

We are contacting you to make you aware of this development as it may effect your business.

We also understand that many of our clients are not aware that Kerna provide a similar Email filtering service called Mailsecure.

If you have been affected by the closure of Topsec or would like to inquire regarding the Kerna Mailsecure product please contact Chris Dooley on 01 664 7244.

Thank you for your time.

This Chris guy is a killer sales guy! But then I realize, no, it’s just speculative libel, as his co-worker Bob pulls his company out of the gutter:

To whom it may conern.

It has come to our attention that a draft email was sent in error to a small number of companies last Friday (24th July).

As you may be aware, there is a dispute currently between Topsec Technologies (trading name of Systemhouse) and Commtech which is being pursued in the High Court.

As part of an internal discussion in Kerna regarding this case a possible mailshot was being considered in the event of that case impacting on customers of Topsec Technologies.

It is not our intention, nor would we wish to imply that customers of Topsec Technologies should consider their relationship with that company to be impaired. We would encourage customers of Topsec Technologies to continue to use their services and only to consider alternatives should the business environment require it.

We would like to apologize to you for any confusion resulting from this email.

Sincerely,

Maybe you should lay off the “send” key, Chris. Sucks to be you! Way to clean up the mess, Bob!
