The worse thing a vendor can do is harass a potential client. By vendors I mean anyone trying to sell a service to a prospective buyer. Sales people who try to sell software or hardware or some service. These people the bad ones will hound you for you to buy a product or service.
I believe this is very bad practice. I've been going through this very thing time and time again. I'm also going through it right now. I demo a piece of software the vendor calls I get quotes. The vendor tells me it's the end of their quarter (like I care) and they can give good discounts. If we can get an order placed by the end of the quarter which is the end of the month we can get this discounted. Well it's not the end of the month and we are still discussing and dealing with other day-to-day issues.
This is just one example. It's like I'm the only client these guys have or will ever have. It really makes me want to look elsewhere. The persistence of these guys is sickening to point where all calls go to voice mail.
Vendor don't call us we'll call you.
