The Price Is Right
-
After having worked with other vendors to get pricing on several projects, straight forward, ballpark pricing is one of the things that makes Scale Computing worth taking the time to get to know!
-
I look forward to acquiring a client sooner or later that can benefit from a @scale solution.

2 things drive me away from a vendor faster than anything. 1. If they make it hard for me to give them money. Require a PO signed and faxed over approving the...NOPE. I will find a new solution. 2. Vague pricing or requiring my personal contact information before giving me a ball park idea of what something will cost up front. If I can't compare prices before I reach out to vendors I don't compare that vendor.

Tried to buy a product direct from VMWare once after they bought Shavlik. So I contacted them, and tried to give them money. It took a week, and 3 faxes... yes fax after 2010. I had to write my CC number on paper and fax it to them then wait for them to email me my software. I haven't spent a dollar with them since.

What I don't get for a sales team looking to make money, surely they want to qualify the client as in or out as fast as possible, so by showing the ballpark range the client can already opt into the solution and you waste less time on people "Looking for pricing" and then you can focus on less people but the spenders get more attention.
There's just this madness that if we hide the price, we can fiddle with it up or down depending on the client we get.

Oh come on Scale.
Don't turn me into a lead, leads are for dogs. Let me qualify myself by getting the pricing straight away.
