I would have preferred getting a good offer to begin with. That just reveals to me they were not offering their best before, which is kind of deceitful in itself. Why would I trust them to give me a good deal afterwards?
Plus, it incentivizes having to threaten to cancel a deal to get anywhere near acceptable terms. Fuck that.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoIt's not deceitful to improve your offer during the course of a negotiation.
- vanusa 5y agoTrue in broad, general sense. But basically off the page as regards to the specific UX patterns under discussion in this thread.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoThe UX pattern I'm talking about it the one at the top of this comment thread. This one: "when someone tried to leave the site, bring up a popup to offer them a deal or otherwise encourage them not to leave"
- vanusa 5y agoRight - which is an extremely narrow subset of "changing your offer during the course of a negotiation". Meanwhile it has other intent-blocking attributes for which the "deceitful" label quite justly applies. In other words: in the Venn diagram of the two buckets - the measure of overlap is quite small.
