I once had to find software options for a company I worked for. I had a deadline to meet for that, plus my regular duties.

That meant that any company that had "Call for pricing" didn't make the cut. I don't have time for that.

We ended up spending $120,000 on the solution I chose. I don't know if we could have gotten a better deal from another vendor, because they wanted to play games. I don't have time for games.

The company that was honest and up-front about the pricing got the contract, which I know has renewed several times since then.
