Rant: A vendor tried to upsell me with a fake urgency deadline last Tuesday
I was on a call with a software vendor for our field service scheduling. Rep was pushing the annual plan hard, said the promo rate ended that Friday. I told him we needed another week to compare. He goes quiet, then says the price actually just got locked in and magically he could extend it. Told him I needed time. He pulled the old "my manager will kill me" line. I hung up. Next day I got an email from a different rep with the same price, no deadline. That fake scarcity thing makes me trust zero of what they say. Has anyone else had a vendor create a fake cutoff when they know you need to do proper due diligence?
