I saw an advertisement on television for solar panels. I wanted to know the price and a few other small details about the product so I went to the website. The website had no information but had a phone number. The person on the phone would not give me any information regarding cost but kept pressuring me to give them my address so they could come by and do a demonstration. I told here that there would be sense in giving a demonstration if I couldn't afford the product. I got the old, "you can't afford not to have this" and "it doesn't matter what the cost is because you'll save much more than that" etc., etc., "what is your address and will you be home tomorrow morning." She also said That the price is different for every cart and there is a big difference. I asked if she could give me a price range and she asked if I would be home tomorrow morning for a demonstration.
I asked her how many extra miles I could expect to get and was told that it's different for every cart. She asked for my address and would I be home tomorrow morning for a demonstration.
Click. Anyone that has to be so secretive about their proprietary product and so high pressure in the way that they do business is not going to get any more of my time.
