No. He doesn’t.
*
1. Customers buy routers and switches because
were told they need them.
2. They have to trust Jim because they are buying
“blind”(R&S are technical, the average
customer knows nothing about them)
3. They have to believe Jim is an expert
and that he will solve their problem.

with a bunch of information. Instead, we’re focusing on the most
relevant information.
