in this case its not trying to take any customers from coke, its getting coke employees to break contract and work with pepsi insteadSeriously .
Pepsi hires Cokes best salesperson and that person is supposed to say ‘I won’t try to take any customers from Coke because I’m ’loyal’ to someone I no longer work for - in fact who pushed me out - so I’ll target Lipton Ice Tea drinkers instead and let Coke continue to dominate - I’m sure my boss would understand’.
Years later said salesman returns to Coke and helps Coke re-establish its market dominance after some mis-fires like Coke Life.
But it’s too late because posters on the Soft Drink Lovers forum had ‘turned’ on Coke 15 years earlier causing boardroom mayhem .
i didn't say anything about roosters signing anasta, myles, o meley to win games, thats ok, but they got mason to break contract, assured sbw that he would get a contract making his decision easier and tried to get thurston to break contract
so once that happens then coke should tell the salesperson that he burned a bridge and its over
but not this club, this club is the club of forgiveness, not only does gould come back, but people who broke contract pay, dymock and mason are allowed back in
gould wasn't even doing things just for the best interests of his club, he was also trying to help out its historic rival, anything to screw us, so you can disregard that pepsi/coke example ffs
Thurston also had interest from the Rabbitohs. Former Bulldogs forward, Paul Dunn, was the South Sydney CEO chief executive, offering Thurston $120,000 a year, almost double what he was on at Canterbury.
Phil Gould was a close friend and adviser to Dunn and advised him to bump the offer up to $200,000 and that he wouldn’t regret it.
Dunn couldn’t go any higher because of salary cap pressure so it came down to the Bulldogs or the Cowboys.
