Well Dennis, you are right, but according to the sales people point of
view (they have sales points and volume to do), they will always choose
to sell a single motor (in real they are willing to give it for free) to
a fan manufacturer instead to a hobbiest person.

There are two points of view, the first one is from the company
visionary person, the president or owner, this guy invest into the
future and he is able to sacrifice today to collect tomorrow. The second
is from the sales people, they just *don't care* about the company's
future, they can jump from one company to another as fast as you change
your underware. In most cases (if not all) they only see their bank
account numbers. This is so real, that they =need= to have sales points
to do, they would not need it if they worry about the company's future,
huh?

We need to understand the machine (in this case the distributor
companies) to deal and work with them accordingly. They are suppose to
deal with big companies and also students (hobbiests) in the same
manner, but are they? If they suppose to but they are not, should we not
act in the same way?

This is a very controversial matter, and everyone needs to find out the
best way to deal with distributors.
