Why is it that I always have to "talk to you" when I'm at a big company to get a quote, instead of just receiving some standard price I can see on the page?
Is it because, working for a big company, there's a sales target on my back and you want to use that to extract the maximum tolerable pricing from my group, just because you can?
Is it because my use case is so complicated you think that you need to offer me value-added services that help you achieve the margins you want?
Why is it that you, even just as an individual with a startup idea, have already fallen into this kind of pricing behavior? Where did you learn to do this? Do you already have VC-backed sales people telling you to do this?
Why is this such a common practice?
Maybe that's why I use other services that at least treat me the same as everyone else.
Is this only about big companies? I work in a small-to-medium company and people still want to talk to me (even though I write them great detailed and unambiguous emails specifically because I hate calling) every now and then.
