You don’t have sales meetings from a vendor on a cruise ship in the west. Thats considered bribery

Well this is an extremely naive take.

You can rest assured that bribery in that way is extremely common in the West.

I conduct my sales meetings in open sewers. There may be whiffs of garbage, but not impropriety.

and balls out about it, too.

used to be a sales engineer at an ISP. one you've heard of. we had account execs straight up offer "referral agent fees" to the network managers we were selling to.

bandwith is mostly the same -- 10Gbps here is more or less 10Gbps elsewhere -- so you gotta set yourself apart. and it worked. constantly.
