"We don't take any product ideas".
Then I must not be clear, I have a need for a modification of one of your products so I would own it when you were done modifying it.

"Well to do that we would need to see your specifications..."

"With all respect sir, unless you work for us, well we don't take any suggestions on anything, particularly in product modification from the outside".
So you believe in "not invented here" (voice rising)
"Is there anything else sir"?
