At every company I've seen the executive asks a manager to develop a report comparing a up to a dozen options. Then the manager delegates to a few of their directs to actually slog through all the sales discussions and compile the analysis.

The only possible way I can imagine someone with the title "VP" going to a vendor's website and clicking a "get quote" button to get a sales call at a random time from some junior salesperson is if we're talking about one of those companies where they give inflated titles and anyone who isn't an intern is a VP-of-something-or-other.
