Sounds like hell. When I feel a sales or business person trying to manipulate me something shuts off in my brain and I just stop talking to them. Maybe the difference is just the skill of the manipulator, but I infinitely prefer it when people are talking candidly about the situation without mind games.

- burnte 2y agoOur major ask, the one ask we simply could not go without was payment arrangements. They insisted that the entire year was due at once, and literally would not entertain discussions about quarterly payments. The point where he laughed at me was, "When you get this year's invoice, write a check for it, send it in, there's you're payment plan." That was when I just changed products. It was an intense 45 days but we launched about 2 weeks early.
