Apple “is not only poaching corporate customers from BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, it’s poaching members of RIM’s enterprise sales team, reports the “Wall Street Journal” (http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20101123-712196.html).
In the past 18 months, at least five members of RIM’s enterprise-sales team have left the company to join Apple, the article adds. This includes Geoff Perfect, who served as Head of Strategic Sales at RIM for nearly five years before leaving in April 2009 and joining Apple a month later as Head of Enterprise iPhone Sales, says the “WSJ,” referencing LinkedIn, the online networking service for professionals.
