Don't underestimate those kinds of customers.
For example, an ad for custom tile showers showed up in my feed. I just wanted to "window shop" the price, so I could get an idea if it was something I wanted to do, and plan when to do it.
I filled in the form with a "I'm just looking for a ballpark number, please don't call me."
No response.
Salespeople just don't understand how irritating phone calls are when you're collecting data: Whatever I'm doing at any given moment significantly more important than dropping what I'm doing to answer the phone. This is especially important if all I need to know is a ballpark number to know if I'm interested in having such a phone call.
