</blockquote><div><br>First, let me say that while a great selling buzzword, "UNLIMITED", there is no such thing. Everything has a limit. I would rather see 500,000 (just throwing out a number) than "UNLIMITED" which I know is a lie.<br>
<br>I know it is common practice not to list prices because I know prices vary greatly by the customer (how much money you can get out of them, most, I suspect), configuration, quantitiy price breaks, VAR programs, features, discounts, and whatever, but I generally see that with large companies with aggressive sales channels. <br>
<br>Go to <a href="http://www.computertraining.com">www.computertraining.com</a> and put in your info and take their (simple) test. and be prepared to be called daily, even if you tell them to stop calling you.<br><br>It would be refreshing to see some rough, per seat, per license, per anything pricing, maybe it is there, but I didn't see anything, not even a calculator.<br>
<br>A cursory glance of your site lists no such pricing. at all. Maybe it is me, but I refrain from calling or pursuing a product or service that gives no pricing details unless I am buying something really high end and customized. <br>
<br>No doubt your products are high end, but they are based in/on OpenSource technology after all, you are no Avaya. <br><br>Just a thought, but a calculator or per seat pricing posted on the site would make me, and people like me (if there are any) click through a bit to see your offerings... Maybe I would even make a purchase. Instead, I close your tab.<br>
<br>Normally, if prices aren't listed, it means I am going to get called over and over trying to sell me something that I had a bit of interest in, at least enough to click and enter some info such as my email or a phone number (which is usually Dominoes or Pizza Hut because of these sales tactics)<br>
<br>After the second call, you are not going to get my business, even if your product is great. The first call to see if I want any additional info, and a second call a month or two later just to touch base (same goes with email soliciting). <br>
<br>Anything other than, "hey this is so and so, from such and such. I see that you may have had interest in one of our products and was wondering if there are any questions you may have."<br><br>I will listen to that, and maybe even have a question if you catch me at a good time and in a good mood.<br>
<br>Any hard sell approach gets you on the blacklist, no questions asked. <br></div></div><br>-- <br>Thanks,<br>Steve Totaro <br>+18887771888 (Toll Free)<br>+12409381212 (Cell)<br>+12024369784 (Skype)<br>
