If you feel like talking to someone over there wouldn't add any value, simply hire a freelancer with decent English on Upwork to act as your 'representative' and take the call with their sales rep to find out the price. I've absolutely done that before to avoid talking with low-level account executives who don't add any value but just want to 'build a relationship' and upsell you etc.

If you're a senior person in your workplace, I suppose you could make a junior employee do the call, with strict instructions not to give out your name or contact info to the sales rep. A bit mean but also a perk of seniority




Wonder if you could go really low-end and successfully use Amazon Turk for this?


Or train an AI from the kennel and name her the real Duplex.
