I've done enough selling in the past to have learned a thing or two, and the number one rule of marketing is that if you are deficient in some area with your product, and someone buys someone else's product because of that deficiency, then you lost market share. It may be small, but it's percentages of market that make or break a company's bottom line.
Who made me the marketing god? I don't know, but it sounds to me like you assume that you are one.
You are simply another one who can't understand "NO".
And, I disagree...the number one rule in marketing is NOT if you are deficient in some area with your product, and someone buys someone else's product because of that deficiency, then you lost market share.
You might consider that trying to please everybody is a noble sentiment, but it does not work in business, nor does it work in real life.
Yamaha simply aren't interested in a
small piece of the
small pie that is the 76 note TOTL arranger market.
Thanks for the interesting reply with the wonderfully wrapped package of little wisdom and many words...how do you do it?
