Hehe :)
No, seriuosly, we called them our best competitor and we never tried to
take eachother's clients. Once one of had won a tender competition or a
contract, the other would get out of the way. Of course we were still
competing, but we'd never try to ruin eachother's business.

And after all, none of us in my company were much of salesmen, so we'd
probably not be able to persuade their client into doing business with
us anyway ;)

(And now my company has winded up and said competitor took our clients,
contracts and a co-worker of me :))
