PLEASE READ!
If my supplier gave out my name, without my consent, to someone who may potentially become my competetor, with the expectation of me being willing to mentor that person, I would be very upset, to say the least. Its their job to train and assist new clients, not mine. Also, how do they know that you are who you say, wanting the information for the purpose you stated? There's a lot of whacko's out there. This doesnt mean that I wouldnt help if asked to, but I would strongly object to being 'put on the spot' so to speak, buy an unexpected call or visit from someone whom my supplier presumed I would help, without consulting me first. The first persom to whom you spoke should have told you what the woman said ... that that information is not available. What he could have said was that he would give the client your information and he(the client) could contact you if he was so inclined.
