They want to change what they charge from time to time so putting a price up front will force them to leave money on the table. Not gonna happen. Contact them instead.
- bigiain 6y agoInstead of contacting them, I will spend a little time investigating whether there's someone else I can buy from, who doesn't consider being "forced to leave money on the table" makes this a reasonable way t treat potential customers, and will choose to spend money at a less customer hostile business - or possibly do without the product. Contacting some random "enterprise sales" team? Not gonna happen.
- xwdv 6y agoWhat if they put an upfront price of $100 dollars but cheaper prices available if you contact them?

That said, too many people (myself included) are so used to being courted as a customer (or really, user to try and upsell to or datamine from) that we’ve forgotten that not everyone wants our business and custom. Splashing some cold water on your face and reminding yourself that you’re not the centre of the universe from time to time isn’t a bad habit to reduce behaving like entitled children. I still struggle with this, but baby steps... (pun not intended)
