I need some work done and many recommended Base Analytics so I thought to check their website for pricing and looks like they will only share their pricing if I contact them. I really hate such companies.

    Because they want to have you as a marketing contact for their sales people to cold call until the end of time after you don’t buy it. It also let’s them do variable pricing based on how much they think you’ll pay.

      Yup, it’s variable pricing. They want to be able to discriminate based on how rich they think you are, or whether or not they actually want your business. There are a lot of sales managers who will quote jobs obscenely high if they simply don’t want your business. Rather than outright saying no, they’ll use the pricing to scare you away.

      Even if you do fucking buy it.

      Have had plenty of manufacturers call me 6+ months after a job goes out to bid to sell me their equipment… That I already specified… And was already purchased and installed on the job site.

      Like what in the flying fuck leave me alone. At least most reps that actually come in bring lunch.
