I could use a little feedback on what others think about receiving un-solicited email. I should start out by saying I am probably the first one on the block to hate working through junk email several times a day.

However.... if you have a software product that is geared toward a particular industry group, is it really that 'offensive' to send a couple of people within the company a MAX of one email offering your product and services? In other words, if you don't: 1) call them or 2) send them a snail mail or 3) visit them in person or 4) send an email, they will never know about the product and services.

I'm personally not offended by getting an occasional email offer such as this - its just all the 100's of offers to work at home, etc., etc., etc., that drive me nuts.

I am asking here - as I don't want to offend the company(s) so much that I might lose their business in the future.

Thanks for any general thoughts, comments, etc.
