Wow, that's weird. I was on the phone with them when I was writing the note.
I didn't catch the name of the chap that was helping me because my rep was
out of town. Future assigns their inside sales reps according to State so
I'm not sure who they flipped you to. Also, Future has about 6 different
companies and I'd be willing to bet that they sent you to the wrong one.
They should have sent you to the Future Active folks - I learned this by
accident one day.

I suggest that maybe we ask for "Future Active, Inside Sales" - that may
help.
