Some more detailed examples for that list of reasons: "you can't give us more money before a sales representative had a chance to upsell you even further, sorry they are all unavailable right now", and of course the personalized variant: "... before the sales representative who called dibs on your business had a chance to upsell you even further" (in that case you might even get deliberately stalled because the transaction volume might be more valuable in the next reporting interval, or the one after. All metrics will be gamed). A properly incentivized sales org would sooner run the company to the ground than allow themselves to get bypassed for even a single transaction.
